Here is the link to the article.
In the article, she seems to imply that "working" for women is a bad thing. Even working in a garden is a bad thing. Even working at the place of employment where the husband works is a bad thing. Humph. Goodness. Where did she start to tear out parts and pieces of the bible and start to cater to socialist filth?
What if a woman works a little odd job on the side. Amish and Mennonite communities have managed their life like this for years. Yes, occasionally they do stay home full-time, but when the children are old enough to manage their lives, they do have a tendency to approve of involving themselves in the community.
Basically, she is implying that ANY women who work in ANYTHING under the sun are "breaking God's rule book." Um. This isn't truth. Its spiritually degrading to call every woman who is in ANY SORT of POSITION to be doing a "bad thing."
I went through a community of people of diverse backgrounds. In many of the stores, there was a woman who was behind the desk, keeping up with the cash register. The woman had a friendly smile and clean neat behavior.
She may only work "part time." I don't really know. At least I know she wasn't super busy and stressed out with her employment.
Lydia of the bible sold -fabric.- So she had some sort of employment.
The way she portrays the stay at home life, makes it look as if it is GOOD to be "mean" to others. Ummm. Since when. THIS is UNGODLY type of behavior.
In general, yes, it is good for women to stay at home with the children and raise them herself. It is NOT good for a women with high IQ and many degrees in this and that to have to constantly send her OWN children off to a nanny everyday, just because that woman wants to compete with men. The children do suffer. The men suffer too. I get that. Most women, who have some sort of ground in Christian thinking, understand this too.
BUT it is degrading to assume that every time a woman is working outside the home, she is letting everyone in the community suffer. That is contrary to scripture truths. What if a woman CAN become an volunteer EMT. She would be a better example for the children, in showing that she CARES about people who are suffering in the community. What if a woman CAN teach other children how to read. She would be a better example for the children, in showing that she either volunteers or substitute teaches so other children can read. The little ways that a woman shows she cares about others, mean more than just sitting at home and "pouting" about women who work, at least part-time in something.
From an indigenous perspective, a woman who didn't work, would see her community suffer. She HAD to gather fruits, nuts and berries. She HAD to make sure she found enough sticks and things to prepare a shelter. A women who didn't work at something would see her tribe and community suffer. Of course there was no "financial exchange" among indigenous community. Just general approval of things the creator provided.
