You cost, you're just not informed enough to know any better, which is a running theme in this thread.
For example...

The Effects of Marriage on Health: ASPE Research Brief

" Recent research also finds a link between marriage and health care use. Marriage is associated with shorter average hospital stays, fewer doctor visits, and reduced risk of nursing home admission.(20, 21, 22)"

Then maybe they need to cover up instead of exposing the breast. Actually next time a woman exposes her breast doing this I will expose my breast too.

She shows lack of ambition for her career. Life ambition is something different. Given a choice between hiring someone who has always worked and someone who took a few years off, I'd go with the proven comodity. We have no idea if the SAHM can even handle working and family. She's never tried.

Of course they have those studies, they want everyone to be married.

I'd rather pay for Ivory than a crackhead who keeps making babies.
The children are special. Period. If anyone needs help it's them.

I am tired of paying more in taxes because I don't have kids. Sick of it actually and it is discrimination.

One employer I worked for didn't like to hire women who had been SAHMs for years and I have to admit. To me this shows they aren't ambitious.

You better believe I have every right to denigrate those women because I think they are not ambitious. If they were they wouldn't be out of work for years.

Btw, I never had a chance to have kids so this whole idea that I must be one of those women who hates kids is ridiculous. In fact I'm not even career obsessed.

If you don't have a career to speak of then why cast judgement on anyone about career or ambition?
