Feminist author Jill Filipovic suggested on Twitter this week that stay-at-home moms set a bad example for their children because their decision “not to work” sends the message that they are not ambitious.
After sparking fury with her comments, she followed up with an apology for her “tone.”
The Daily Wire reported that “Filipovic was reacting to a post from Slate concerning a man who was upset that his wife wanted to be a stay-at-home mother,” and that “Slate’s advice was to be more understanding with his wife.”
“This is good advice, but man I feel for this letter-writer, because it’s exactly how I would feel if my spouse decided they wanted to be a stay-at-home parent,” Filipovic wrote in the launch of her lengthy thread. “Also… is it really ONLY her decision whether to quit working when she’s then going to be entirely dependent on him?”
That comment was met with fierce backlash. A wave of stay-at-home mothers pushed back against Filipovic’s assertions, along with people who expressed how grateful they were to be raised by stay-at-home moms. Husbands had choice words for the feminist, too.
Attorney Matthew Kolken told Filipovic, “My late wife was a stay at home mom. She lived for and ultimately died loving our children. It was her full time job. I can write so much more on this subject, but suffice it to say that belittling her decision to prioritize our children over ‘work’ f***ing pisses me off.”
I agree. My wife was a stay at home mom by choice – our choice. I worked a second job and we scrimped and saved but all four of our kids turned out great. All graduated from top tier schools and are successful and doing well, and to a child they all attribute their success to a stable home that we both provided. I will also say as hard as I worked, she worked harder. To any feminist who demeans a woman who stays at home, understand nobody is listening to you or cares what you have to say.
Just another head up her ass feminist who couldn’t find anybody stupid enough to breed with her. Jeolousy is a bad thing.
I was a stay at home mom, my daughter saw this story and said, she’s just jealous because her mom probably never wanted to be around her! 🙂
In calling out stay at home mothers she disses every
woman who does or did going back to before the
beginning of written history, including all of her own
female forebears.
