What would happen if women went back to the kitchen to cook and raise children ?
What if we made it illegal for women to be in the workforce and back to the custody of their children? Food prices would plummet, children would have some parental oversight, and no sexual harrassment chances. Men would have to be the only bread winners again. Old values would ultimately return to society!!!
i agree with it and married women know their husband isn’t cheating with slut co-workers, and yes prices would plummet.

i think that’s very extreme, but i’m not totally against it. i like my job, but i’m sure when we decide to have children, i would like to be the ones to raise them. i’m not at all feminist by any means, but i also don’t think being a homemaker should be forced upon us.
I think there’s a flip side. Men should start acting like men and take more responsibility for their actions and their family.

The future is never in the ways of the past.
My wife stayed home and raised the kids, it didn’t save the world.
And what right does the government have to tell people what jobs to do? A law to say they have to be homemakers? What about single women? Such a law would defacto abolish the concept of liberty. Would it really be a better country without liberty?

I agree with you! I think it needs to go back to the old ways. that’s the way god meant for it to be, look what happend when we changed it to the way it is now. Kids aren’t being supervised or raised worth a damn and yes the sexual harrasment and work affairs.

How do you equate forcing women out of the workforce with plummetting food prices?
Your logic is terribly flawed…

Ok..let’s look at the flaws in that:
How on earth would food prices plummet by women being forced to be at home?
And, as for sexual harassment…homosexual men can’t harass other homosexual men in the workplace?
Also, many women who are currently in the workforce (the very same group you are forcing back into the kitchen) are the strongest activists in the arena of workers rights and leading members of trade unions around the globe. How long do you think it would be before this "stay at home workforce of caregivers, cooks, cleaners and chauffeurs" would unionize to negotiate a fair contract? Let me see…as you see it they’d be doing all those jobs around the clock for no wages..a few benefits perhaps, but no wages per se so I think it would be accomplished in very short order.
And does part of your master plan involve men actually becoming men again? Providing adequately for a family on only their income? Taking a second job if that’s what it took? Maintaining the home instead of his wife having to hire a handyman? maintaining the family vehicles himself? Doing the yard work
Personally, I think you are a sexist, short sighted moron who probably couldn’t do any of the things listed above…if you could, you wouldn’t be blaming the fairer sex for your oh so troubled life.

What’s left of the economy would collapse.
The majority of people in the work force now are women.
Time for you guys to learn to get in the kitchen and cook and raise the children.
BTW, if he made my income and his income, yes, I’d go home.

Well….hold on a minute. Lets get married and I’ll show you what would happen. I’m going to run up your Visa bill because after watching HGTV I might decide to redecorate the house every two months since I have nothing else to do. Oh don’t forget, whenever Jcpenney has a door buster sale I’m there. After I finish helping the kids with their homework, doing the laundry, washing dishes, cooking a full course meal…I might be too tired for sex so that may not make you too happy. Then again I might want sex 24/7 since I didn’t have a 9 to 5 to beat me down. And who’s to say the pizza delivery guy wouldn’t try to sexually harass me?
What about the men who can’t seem to hold down a decent job or don’t want to provide for his family?
There’s no sense of wondering what if women went back to the Kitchen to cook and raise children because #1, not going to happen and #2 we manage to do all of the above and still manage our careers.

It wouldn’t magically make everything better again.
Even in the really "old days," people still had affairs, there was still domestic violence, alcohol abuse, and some kids still turned out bad. It just wasn’t talked about as much. Families kept their skeletons in their closets.

The economy would utterly and completely fail, and in the history of the world it has never been totally "illegal" for women to work. Poor women ALWAYS had to work, before industrialization entire families would work together on the farm to grow crops, hunt, take care of children and sustain themselves. Then cottage industry evolved where families would produce goods in their home, women wove, made clothing, lace, etc . . . after the industrial revolution women went to work in factories to support their families, sadly so did their children. Also during all these time periods women worked as teachers, in the country women passed down important skills to their children, in cities women worked as governesses for rich families or in school houses.
Then came world war two where women took a more prominent role in all aspects of the working world . . .but when the men returned they didn’t like that and there Governments introduced something called "the family wage" where a man could earn enough to support his wife and children. (this does not apply to women of low socioeconomic standing they still worked in factories, and as maids and nannies) women also still worked as teachers during this time, as nurses, and in many other professions and not all choose to stay home once they had children. It is also important to note during the 50′s and 60′s women’s right movement began and women began moving into "men’s professions" becoming doctors lawyers scientists etc . . .( though there had always been a few women in these professions long before then, take Madame Curee for example)
in answer to your question societies the world over have always relied on the work of women to maintain themselves. If it was suddenly illegal for women to be in the workforce our economies and ways of life would collapse and there would not be enough men with the education level or experience to fill the positions that would open up. Also one salary is not enough to support a family on these days, men would have to take two full time jobs to keep their families current SES levels . . . and since that’s impossible . . .
as for "old values" we have moved away from them for a reason. African Americans, women and other minorities spent years struggling to win the right to equality we more or less enjoy today and no one is about to give that up!
