The More You Know

Female Republicans More Likely Than Female Liberals To Want To Stay At Home [POLL]


Why get a job when you can hang around at home with the kids (or alone)? That’s what more than half of conservative women believe, according to a new Gallup poll, which further reveals that only 37 percent of left-leaning ladies share that attitude on employment. To each his (or her) own, I say!

The findings also claim that 59 percent of liberal females would rather have a job outside the house whereas 37 percent of conservative gals would prefer to work away from their living space. Working at home has many benefits: not having to dress up, sparing oneself the time, energy, and cost of commuting, privacy, and flexibility, so it’s understandable that some women would rather get all their professional responsibilities done at home as opposed to in an office. If they have children, the freedom to work remotely is all the more valuable, but preferences vary from person to person. For instance, women with no higher education are more likely to want to stay home than their college-educated counterparts.

The poll also finds that Republican men are ten percent more interested than their Democratic counterparts in working outside the house. Unsurprisingly, Democratic men are more likely than right-leaning fellows to desire homemaker status. I gotta get me one of those, as I can’t cook or sucessfully complete any of the tasks women are traditionally supposed to fulfill. Any takers?

    Not at all surprising.

    Agreed.

    Wow, no shit. What a waste of a survey.

  • Jay Mac

    When was the last time most liberal women had the choice to stay home without having to raise their children in poverty? I started working at 13, and through my brief marriage because my “husband” wouldn’t. I’ve always worked out of necessity.

    Most liberals ex- children are in landfills..No surprise there

    Chicken or egg? Did the poll find that conservatives were more likely to want to stay at home, or did it find that people who wanted to stay at home were more likely to be conservative? Because these aren’t the same things.

    Wasn’t there a survey done a year or so ago that upset the feminists because a majority of highly educated young women, those with graduate degrees from highly competitive colleges, planned on staying home once they had children? As I recall, many cited the reason as having grown up in homes where their mothers worked full-time and they didn’t want to replicate the situation in their own families.

    Just saying…

    Really? I hope tax payer money was not spent to determine that!

  • Clovis4

    And the more in the landfill the more money Mitt made. Does that bother you also?

    Yes, Conservative women can stay home because Conservative Men earn higher wages than their liberal counter parts. They are not always at the latest protests.

  • Gregory Williams

    Still not reading the articles before commenting? GALLUP conducted this poll.

  • Gregory Williams

    My wife wants me to stay home full time and let my #1 son run things, she is really worried that I am going to die on the job and does not care that I only “work” 8-10 hours of the 40-50 that I am there, I do the majority of the cooking and the cleaning and the Grand baby care and she pointed out that we no longer really have to worry about money (Of course we do) because she took a job in a bindery (she didn’t need to but she does love the book & print production work) and that she feels better with me at the house (she thinks taking the grand baby to the job is a strain on me, the kid loves it and it gives me an excuse to watch cartoons at work). I wish things had been this way when our kids were growing up but then I was working 60-70 hours a week and she was working 40.

    I think that gender rules and work have changed so it is up to people to decide how to structure that now and they CAN ignore traditional roles and my Daughter-in-law LOVES bidding and selling jobs for the company and is damned good at it PLUS she LOVES being able to see the kid on the job (and keeping the mess out of HER car). Times change and realistic people change with them.
    If I were to stop working at the shop and office i would take a Burger flipping job or something like that just to keep busy, you can only read and play and game and internet surf so much and a couple of hours hobby playing …errr working, so Good Night and I am off to the game deck and then an hour or so reading and my usual 4-6 hours of sleep and then it will be time to go pick up & feed & play with the Grand baby and the Grand kid, its Sunday and the adult kids like to sleep in.

    No, I don’t think there was such a study. But you don’t live in the real world.

    Republican women are less likely than Democratic women to consider themselves of equal worth to men.

  • http://evilbloggerlady.blogspot.com/ Evi L. Bloggerlady

    It was a joke. But you are so humorless you can’t pick up on that.

  • TrollStomperBoots

    Well of course they do!
    Conservatives adhere to the old ways, have disdain for change in the status quo.

    http://www.politicalstrikes.com/thesaurus.html

    So of course the “little woman” has to set at home and wait for her big, strong, bread winner to return to his castle.

    This mindset is clearly why so many GOP authoritarians have NO clue about female reproduction and act like they can just go ahead and so whatever they want.
    After all, “it’s only women”.
    Think about how many times a right winger has insulted you by calling you a “woman” or a “little girl”.

    Sniff sniff…
    Hmm.
    Seems you pulled that one from your a$$.

    Care to provide statistics?
    Y’know:
    Proof?

    My bet, with the poorest, most ignorant, most reliant on government handouts ALL being Red States?
    You might be wrong.

    I’ll wait for you to reply with links to your proof.

    Conservative women prefer to stay home and nurture their children, because they value their children more than Democratic women value theirs.

    That is because Republican women know who the father of their children is.

    I can clearly see what your stay at home mom did for your upbringing.

  • Anonymous

    I can see your mother did a great job raising you.

  • Anonymous

    No, If anyone is pulling things out of their ass It is you, Now one item to pull out your ass, It is your head.

    I would love to see the methodology of your said studies, Highly questionable at best down right political propaganda at its worst.

  • TrollStomperBoots

    Sorry.
    Just because your ignorant of something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist!
    Brock university recently released a 30 year study of the conservative mindset using the same subjects bears it out:
    Refusal to accept change, greater prevalence of bigotry and racism, less post secondary education, more apt to believe leaders without critical thought…
    Goes on and on.

    And that’s only the most recent, and longest, study.
    Even the English language bears that out.
    http://www.politicalstrikes.com/thesaurus.html

    As I said:
    Evidence:
    Put Up or Shut up.

    PS: Interesting how the word “right” was right next to “political propaganda, huh?”

    Maybe your subconscious is trying to get you to wake up?

    Again, a partisan citation, with a partisan political agenda, with questionable methodology, and a predetermined conclusion and out come.

    The study was conducted to support a predetermined conclusion, Not supportable by peer review.

    Now exactly how does the English Language bear that out?

    Are you really that obtuse? I am willing to bet as a child the older kids, traded you nickels for dimes and you were happy to make the trade because the nickels were bigger.

    You offer no evidence so take your own advice and shut up.

    It now makes sense why republican women are not outraged by Aikens comments. This poll explains it.They are willing to endure the barbaric in order to stay at home.

  • D Valerio

    Actually, Troll offered evidence, YOU’RE the one who made a specious claim, and then ignored the request for evidence or supporting facts. And on top of that, when Troll offered evidence, you claim it’s biased, not supported by peer review, and added the insults about the coins. You baggers think you can make stuff up, and when someone asks for proof, all you have to do is spout some nonsense about questionable methodologies and predetermined outcomes. So where’s YOUR proof?

    Thank you, I appreciate your comment.

    I never sunk as low as calling a stranger a BROTHER, because I know my dad, and I was not raised by a village, but by my parents. Both of whom, by the way, were straight.

    So, in face of such devastating and politically incorrect admission, I hang my head in shame. How can such a low-life like me, you know, child of a loving heterosexual and NORMAL couple become such a normal, heterosexual parent and grandparent?

    Not that I reject being called “brother” or calling someone else “brother”.

    I called my friend in Homestead, Goulds, Overtown and Cutler Ridge a “brother” and was called a “brother” by anybody who worked along with me with Habitat for Humanity, building and helping to build home for spiritual “brothers” and “sisters” with not a single Democrat/liberal in sight.

    Or in Chavais, KY with Appalachian Service Project. Once again, not a single Democrat/liberal in sight.

    Or Portage-of-the-Siuox, MO after the floods of 1993.

    Or Albany, GE, after the devastating ravage of the Flynt River.

    I was there, and you were NOT.

    My parents brought me up with appreciation of personal achievements, and contempt of the concept of free-loading. I guess your parents and mine were different and so are you and I. I help the helpless with my OWN money and time while you are generous with money and time of somebody else.

    Be proud. Be liberal. Be Democrat.

    It is a constant source of amazement to me that every time I think the stupidity level has finally been reached, someone makes a comment as stupid as this one!

  • Anonymous

    No, Trolls citation lead to a to a sight called Liberal Cartoons dot com. And again what was the methodology of said study.

    The bell curve on intellengence doesn’t distribut itself according to political affiliation or state of residence, If you believe that? To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy: YOU MUST BE A LIBERAL!

    Yes, a liberals proving just how obtuse and gullable liberals are.
