“Historically, the role of “wife and mother” has been glorified by our society, but there hasn’t been real recognition and respect for the challenging job it represents. I believe homemakers are the most unappreciated of all women today because of the emphasis in our society on the ability to earn money. We have somehow confused self-worth with monetary worth. The role of the homemaker is one of the most complex, demanding jobs a person can have. A clear focus on the value of that role should inspire self-esteem in the women who handle it so capably. But society hasn’t supported this view. The attitudes toward homemakers fail to acknowledge the day-to-day strength, competence, and versatility that are required to do the job well.”

Dear “trad” or conservative men of Tumblr,

Be chivalrous and respectful to all women, even if you disapprove of their life choices. Don’t call them whores or bitches, and don’t wish bad things upon them. I don’t give a crap whether they’re Mrs. Tradwife McTrad, or if they’re a prostitute.

It costs absolutely nothing to keep your derogatory comments to yourself. Be a gentleman, please.
