While most parents in America, no matter their gender, have to work a job in order to stay on top of bills and battle the surge in gas and inflation, Jill Filipovic, a feminist author, recently suggested that men who are married to stay-at-home wives are actually more sexist compared to those who have a working wife.
Taking her stance to Twitter, Filipovic wrote, “More mothers at home makes for worse, more sexist men who see women as mommies and helpmeets. Men with stay-at-home wives are more sexist than men with working wives; they don’t assess women’s workplace contributions fairy; and they are less likely to hire and promote women.”
Stay-at-home mothers are psychologically and emotionally worse off than working mothers by just about every measure, from depression to anxiety to anger; they are much more likely than working mothers to say that they are struggling, and less likely to say that they are thriving.

Although it is unknown what she was trying to achieve, it appeared not many on Twitter sided with the supposed feminist. National Review senior writer David Harsanyi replied, “I see my wife as a mother (among other things.) I think that job is a thousand times more difficult and more important than writing a substack. But apparently that makes me sexist.”
Another person added, “…And here I was, excited to leave FT employment outside the home to become a SAHM (by choice!) who also writes on the side. It was and continues to be a great decision for me and my family. I absolutely do not regret it.”
One person tweeted, “She got all wrong. It’s a JOY to be a homemaker & serve my husband, but again these people don’t know the Lord. God created women to be a helpmate and it says in Titus 2 that women are the keeper of the home. Culture does not rewrite the bible. And my husband is far from sexist.”
Trying to defend her stance, Filipovic also noted, “Stay-at-home mothers are psychologically and emotionally worse off than working mothers by just about every measure, from depression to anxiety to anger; they are much more likely than working mothers to say that they are struggling, and less likely to say that they are thriving.”
Still, the narrative wasn’t being welcomed as one concluded, “My husband is far from sexist and I am joyed with this life the Lord has given me. Women are *nothing more* than an easy to replace number in the working world. At home, they are someone’s world. They are irreplaceable. More moms at home creates a healthier & stronger society.”

Filipovic shows herself to be a “sexist extremist” for making this accusation against men.
Q: Don’t these people know that everything they say can be used against them?
A: of course not. Extremists reveal themselves to be blind to their own faults.
So sad, that extremists are unable to think logically before expressing their own stupidity. (Sorry about the “S” word, but no other word fits them as well.)
