No Longer Quivering
by Larry Solomon from Biblical Gender Roles – Being a Stay-At-Home Mom Should be Illegal?
Editor’s note: Larry has his BVDs in a twist today because a politician in Australia wants to make it mandatory that all mothers work after their children reach school age. He’s proposing exactly the opposite. Why is it that neither side seems to realize that feminism does not mean everyone works or everyone stays home? It allows women to hold more choices over their lives, such as not working outside of the home if this is what they and their partner want, or working. It’s not an either / or proposition.
What if instead of making it illegal for stay at home moms to stay home after their children reached school age we made it illegal for married women to enter the workforce at all? I know GASP! That is crazy right. What if we restored by law the dependence of women upon men and reversed all the so called “progress” of the woman’s rights movement?
The fact is we know from the history of mankind that if we made it more difficult for women to work outside the home or own property husbands would once again have the help meets God designed for them and children would have their mothers back. Women would once again be able to fully concentrate on their homes rather than dealing with the struggle between work life and home life balance that feminists like Sarrah Le Marquand think is so great but other women know has a horrible effect on their lives and that of their families.
Yes there would be some negatives. Some women would again be trapped in bad marriages or abusive situations.
But we have to ask ourselves this question. Which was better for society? Was society worse off by having a patriarchal authority or by eliminating patriarchal authority to address injustices against women? I would argue that if the measure of a society is the strength of the family unit and not the size of our homes or bank accounts we have the answer to that question.
