Should Housewives Be Paid?


I do not feel that housewives should be paid mainly because it would not be responsible of the state. It is voluntary work, because you are not hired to be a housewife. I was your choice to have sex and get pregnant. Now I know a lot of people think well what about the ones who were raped or was not trying? Well there are still lots of other options. Daycare sounds like a lot of money but if can be or can not be. If you are a teen mother you would not be a housewife but you would be a house mother. Most schools have a program for teen mothers that are free. But back on track if you are afraid you will not have money then you be the daycare facilitator. Then in a way you would get paid. Okay think about the fathers who stay at home with the kids do they not count?? If something was to happen and the state decided to pay housewives then would the house fathers get paid also? Some one from the International debate education association said,

"Even if we agree there shouldn't be overt gender discrimination in the workplace, it is not the role of state to enforce its conceptions of gender roles on the household. Many cultural and religious groups base their societies squarely on the traditional family unit. Many of the women involved in these are comfortable with that. To enforce a subjectively 'progressive' model both violates their cultural rights, and risks causing havoc in these established structures."

This agrees with my statement about how gender would be a huge problem in this case. well every one has there own opinion and this is mine.
