“Pity their ignorance”
I agree. For the women that I know that chose to work (meaning they could have stayed home full or part time financially but chose NOT to).... I always figured they had a “mantra” to convince themselves that they were doing the right thing. For example, “I’m just not that maternal”, “my talents are more than wiping noses or butts”, “my children will have more respect for me since I am in the working world”, or (my absolute favorite) “my children will understand since they will have the better things in life”. It is all a mantra that they say in their heads to affirm their decision. In order to make themselves truly believe the “mantra”, they have to ridicule or belittle the women who stay at home. By defining them as ignorant, lazy, stupid.... they become “better” women.
As horrible as this sounds, I have always felt that WOMEN keep women down. More women bully, belittle and humiliate other women than men do. Just my opinion.
BINGO! The worst bosses I ever had were women. (or short men, I'm 5'10")
