“Why Conservatives Need Traditional Gender Roles”
Usually when I suggest the same here, I get SNIPED at.
I’m quite convinced that women would be happier than they are now, if they could go back to traditional gender roles. They just don’t believe that.
I would also say that, for a variety of reason, the need for humans in the workforce is likely to plummet. Less need for workers, means more people staying on the homefront. Make it intentional, and push the importance and value of having someone just focus on the family and on the home.
There are very few Conservative women I know who would tolerate being told to quit their jobs, return to a primary role as homemaker, and not worry their pretty little heads.
If we want to win, it’s just stupid to attempt to silence or remove women from the higher echelons of business, politics, or the traditional professions.

can’t tell you
what “a woman” is
I’m more interested in winning with conservatism than attempting to remove women from the table. That’s a losing argument in a nation where women are the majority.
What else to you suggest? Removing their right to vote? Removing a woman’s right to credit in her own name?
Talk to the women you know and see how much they support that.
All “best actress” awards, to be eliminated by DEI “Girl Power”, until The Oscars.
A large percentage of women want government to be their Sugar Daddy.
Just saying.
Men are better at some things, women are better at others. However, all the things that women are better at are supposed to be a mark of shame now. Now, they’re supposed to be better at being men than men are, and men are supposed to take on more roles that women are better at. Because women are supposed to be ashamed of their natural gender. That’s modern feminism.

If I’m allowed to respond to the above
That’s what the Democrats want.
All muslims want that and the Democrats support them.
The common good and general order do not embrace, espouse, or celebrate men spilling their seed into one anothers mouths and buttholes.
You mean like in the 50’s and 60’s, where mom stayed home, tended to the kids, kept the home and cooked and dad earned enough money to have a home and a car and eventually retire securely?
Yeah. Women got sold on the idea they they were getting a raw deal. Now they get to have careers, which are more important than personal relationships. They get to grow old with cats and boxed wine. See how happy they are? So much better than the 50s and 60.
“roles” don’t matter if separate from God. God needs to come first and ultimately each person - whether or male or female - should seek out God’s purpose or ROLE for their life in service to His kingdom and to eternity. And everyone’s path is unique.
The worst thing is to ignore God and to abide by pressures of culture to fulfill a certain “role” only to then end up divorced, disillusioned, and hardened to the faith altogether.
That’s why it’s important for parents to nurture the passions and gifts of their children instead of imposing idols like materialistic concerns or artificial timetables. “Sweetie, professional pianists make no money, go to college and study software coding or something.” “Sweetie, you’re 25, I know you dream of spending a few years abroad; but why don’t you marry so and so down the road and buy a house while interest rates are low.”
etc…And then midlife crises and all sorts of ugly ensue.
Worked with women almost exclusively for nearly 50 yrs.....a tiny tiny percentage preferred work over staying at home with the kids..
Problem was often their husbands didn’t work or worked at poor jobs...
My wife was much happier once we sat down and ran the numbers. They showed that she was only working for the privilege of paying some other woman to raise our children. Her actual contribution was to the bottom line was negligible. She became a homemaker and while our income decreased, our cash flow increased and our financial situation improved to the point where I was able to retire by 55.
This one was well done. Many Freepers go overboard in making their case.
My wife and I made the same calculation.
My daughter just had her first child. Went back to work. Just started the day care thing. I think there is a decent chance that she will ditch the career before too long, but maybe not. Her career is good, and this is an uncertain time with a lot of social pressure. But I’m hoping she decides to say “Screw it” and just stay at home.
the problem with defining what a woman is by if she has eggs or the ability to conceive is... that excludes post menopausal women from being considered women, or those who for whatever reason can not conceive because of an accident, disease, or birth defect.
It is the same with a man. A man who went to war and had his penis blown off is still a man.
