These are the collective responsibilities of both parents signed up for when they decided to be parents
It should be that way, it's not in reality.
You don't get paid for wiping out your ass. Similarly, it's not a job that deserves pay when you're cleaning the house that you live in or when you're raising your own children.
Tell any housewife that what they do in the house is not a job and you will see how you will be received.
Saying "it's a job" is a ways to recognize the actual labor nature of the work done in the household by women who are forced by situation to stay at home. It's necessary. And keeping the house alive + taking care of children is the equivalent of TWO jobs.
So yeah, it should be taken care of by both partners.
You're actively demonizing stay-at-home parents to glorify the working class.
No, it's a ok choice. We just need to be aware of the mental workload behind it. That's why instead of defending the value of staying at home we must first open the door for women to keep them outside the consevative status.
In short, to help women emancipate themself, we must prioritize helping the status of women progress FIRST instead of promoting the already existing conservative status.
This is by far the most clueless thing you've said in this thread. It's perfectly okay for women to stay at home when they chose to do it
Like I said, the choice in itself is okay. We just need to be aware of the nature of that choice and what it imply for the future of said individual. In this case, it means a greater mental workload on the woman's shoulders.
it's not against their interest by any metric
It is.
if it's their own choice to not have a job
Like I said, it's their choice. The choice is not what I'm targetting, it's the implication of that choice. Things that women must be aware of before making that choice.
Being a corporate slave isn't the only way to live your life.
Being a corporate slave doesn't stop at the doorstep. The housewife status is as much a consequence of the patriarcal and capitalist society that enseless jobs in society are.
Its evolved into marriages
No it did not. Mariage is a social construct. A pretty recent one in fact when we look at the history of humanity.
