It's up to the guy.
I think most men looking for a partner would prefer a woman who worked.

My mother worked as a Math teacher, so I don't think I can relate much to a non working woman.


Actually, Muslim countries produce a lot of female engineers and STEMS (50%+ of their STEM graduates are females).

If I recall right, most western countries don't pass the 20% in females' STEM participation

I think women want guys to work a lot more than guys want women to work. Some guys don't mind supporting their women cuz they can afford it & they kind of like/want a housewife. That's how it used to be in the old days. Other guys wouldn't really care as long as their women was able to support herself somehow or at least contribute a bit financially. It doesn't really mater to me if my girlfriend works. I'm disabled & was unemployed most of my life. I do have an income thou; Social Security Disability after I quit working & it was SSI before & while I was working. Most women would NOT even consider me cuz of that. I would of taken in a woman who needed a place to stay for some reason if I would of had my own place & not working would of been one of the reasons. My 1st girlfriend was in high-skewl, my 2nd was in college & my current one was & is still disabled & on SSI & has other benefits including housing. Things are working out thou we could really use some extra money. I would look for a part time job where I would still keep my benefits but we're trying to move & are on waiting lists so the job search has to wait.

You all do realize don’t you that “staying home”, being a “housewife” IS work? The homemaker doesn’t sit around all day watching tv, especially if there are young children. It’s a bit better to refer to “working “ and “working outside the home” rather than “not working” or “stay at home”.

In the general sense. But most people say work as in paid employment.
“What do you do for work.”

Would you say a guy who’s unemployed and cleans the house is working?

You seem to be getting upset over nothing. I’m not into political correctness.

Cleaning up after yourself at home apparently only counts as backbreaking work if you happen to be a woman.

A women is always working, even if she's unemployed , she's still running errands, taking care of her family, a carer , a cook a cleaner, an organiser. If she's employed, still struggling to do all!

a man is a provider by nature and a fixer, even if a man isn't at work, he's repairing things.

That’s my main problem in being a man: fixing things.

My mom was always the fixer in the house, I think her being a mathematician she loved to engineer, measure and fix stuff,
but she never learned how to drive (phobia) so all errands requring driving was done by dad.

So there’s no non-working adult human in existence?

I recall a show of hands in a mid 1970s social studies class. Only 10% or 3 out of 30 kids had stay at home moms.
