More Mothers at Home Makes for Worse???
Jill Filipovic, who has 162,000 followers on Twitter, tweeted this recently: “More mothers at home makes for worse, more sexist men who see women as mommies and helpmeets. Men with stay-at-home wives are more sexist than men with working wives; they don’t assess women’s workplace contributions fairly; and they are less likely to hire and promote women. Stay-at-home mothers are psychologically and emotionally worse off than working mothers by just about every measure, from depression to anxiety to anger; they are much more likely than working mothers to say that they are struggling, and less likely to say that they are thriving.”
I shared this on my Instagram. Many of the women who follow what I write on Instagram love the Lord and His ways. This is why they read what I write. Many women responded to Jill’s tweets. Here are a few of them:
“Always interesting to hear how unhappy I apparently am.”
“She has no idea what truth is at this point.”
“Wow! Apparently I’m miserable. Even though I wanted to quit every day of my life when I was working full time and love my life now.”
“Wow! I know from working AND being at home, I was way less fulfilled and more stressed and anxious when I wasn’t home with my family.”
“This is actually quite the opposite.”
“Yeah, no, I’m good. Nothing could ever make me want to go back to work after 15 years of being a stay-at-home mom!”
“I have never felt more thriving than I am as a stay-at-home wife and mum.”
“So crazy! I love that I can put ALL my energy into my husband, my children, and my home. I am thriving, praise the Lord!”
“Bless her heart. Our household proves the opposite in every part.”
“I have always been a stay-at-home wife and have never felt depressed or sad about it. I feel so happy waking up and knowing that I can do everything on my own time schedule. I don’t have to rush out of the door. I don’t answer to anyone but my family and their needs, not their needs plus a job. It brings me peace and happiness!”
“It’s unfathomable to women deeply rooted in feminism to see the beauty of God’s design in our wonderful masculine husbands and how we thrive off of his protection and love. They will never experience that kind of security.”
“A handful of claims without any basis or evidence to support them. I’m sure this is what she prefers to believe.”
“I’ve never read a post with more inaccurate statements than this one!”
“The lies! I’m the happiest I’ve ever been being a stay-at-home mother. Everyday that I had to leave my family to go to the workplace, my heart longed to be at home.”
I wish I had the time and patience to post all of the responses. They were fantastic. Go read them here if you have the chance. All of this proves that there will ALWAYS be a remnant who loves the Lord and His ways. Jill is Satan’s agent. She is doing Satan’s will. She is greatly deceived and is deceiving many. Keep speaking the Truth, women. Women are lost and floundering in the feminist quicksand. Let them know there is a God who is good, who is love, and has the best plan for them!
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
