What Did People Think Of The Way That Republicans Approached Motherhood?

Republican Motherhood was an ideology that placed national political importance on women’s roles as wives and mothers after the American Revolution. It influenced women’s education reform and political activism, but faced opposition. The idea of Republican Motherhood emphasized women’s responsibility for instilling republican virtues in their children and contributing to the nation. This ideology influenced women’s roles in the new nation, such as the Livingston family.

The ideology of Republican Motherhood taught women to uphold republican values and educate their children during the American Revolution. However, it also isolated them within the domestic domain, emboldening them to maintain their cultural identity. The party and its institutions have never been welcoming for millennial women, who are now finding even less to contribute to society.

The current dichotomy between “pro-GDP” Republicans who want mothers in the workforce and “pro-family” Republicans who want to support families has led to a lack of acceptance for millennial women. The key idea of Republican Motherhood was that women were responsible for the early education of boys who would someday become voting citizens.

Republicans use parenthood as a wedge issue, manipulating women and recruiting, mobilizing, and justifying violent and antidemocratic actions. The key idea of Republican Motherhood was that women’s contribution to the nation was through their education and leadership.

  • ABC did a horrible job. The debate went exactly as I expected. 1. They allowed Trump more time. 2. The moderators allowed Trump to completely bully them and control the debate. 3. They allowed Trump to respond to Harris…but didn’t allow Harris to respond and correct Trump’s lies. 4. The moderators failed to challenge & correct obvious lies by Trump. The goal for Trump was not to stumble and to lie as much as possible….knowing that most Americans wouldn’t know the difference. This is part of the Trump & Republican Joseph Goebbels disinformation strategy. Democrats should not have agreed to a debate with this convicted felon and compulsive liar without live real-time fact-checking.

  • Here in Canada 🍁we have paid leave for young mothers 18 months; we have Medicare and dental with the lowest cost for medicines. We have a guaranteed income supplement for people earning $35,000 or less to help those who might fall through the cracks. You Americans can and should do much better than that considering you are the best and biggest country in the world. Wake up Americans and VOTE BLUE!💙💙💙💙

  • As the person who took my son to school, appointments and events, I have a great appreciation for the issues you’re addressing. The whole experience, while mostly joyfu! and rewarding, but was very demanding and had long-term deleterious effects on my income and standard of living. That’s, lbviously, not even considering the health issues, etc. I appreciate, and honor, what you are doing and am personally appalled at how little, as you point out, this is a subject of discussion, not only among men, but among women as well. There are too many who are willing to just accept it.

  • During my maternity leave in 2000, I read The Price of Motherhood by Ann Crittenden. 25 years later public policy still works against moms, babies, and young families. We relocated to the Netherlands and our 23-year old daughter has 40 days off per year, healthcare, pension, profit sharing, and pay equity to her male peers — in her starter job. Motherhood is not a career hurdle and many parents work shorter work weeks — Mother Mondays, Father Fridays are normal for parents with young families. Many professional women including my GP work 3 days a week. The Dutch kids, teens, and adults are in the top ranks of happiest people and live in an advanced, capital economy and society. The American economy is carried on the shoulders and backs of women.

  • So many people left Sweden for America to get a better life. I’m so grateful for the fact my forefathers didn’t. Becoming pregnant, being pregnant and conceiving the baby and being a mother is so much easier in Sweden. And yet we feel that our support isn’t good enough…. You should really take a look at our system around pregnancy and maternal leave and childcare. The pro-life movement in America is so outdated and dangerous and the rules about abortion and all it leads to a leaving me dumbfounded… This episode is so important!

  • I feel like Uniform Basic Income would address a lot of issues. Instead of wasting money by funneling it through the states, give it directly to individuals to spend on what they need. Take all subsidies for corporate farms, big oil, food stamps, welfare, public housing, etc, and give each individual a certain sum per month. If they work in addition to that, those taxes won’t be refundable. That would do away with child tax credits, earned income credits, etc. The UBI money would be used as a basic income and then what is earned is added to that. Yeah, it’s a wild idea, but we should at least be looking at it.

  • APUSH is such a vigorous course and it really puts my brain to work. Every time I come on here though, I find that your thoroughly explained articles make it so much easier for me to understand the information and I rely on them a ton to help me understand the information (no pressure or anything, HAHA!), so thank you so much for making these! Keep this up 🙂

  • This is a really nice PowerPoint here, but the part I like the most is the commentary. You don`t just read the freaking PowerPoint, unlike how my actual APUSH teacher does. Two chapters a week is tons when your taking 4 AP classes. I got to keep that Valedictorian status, but thanks for the article bro.

  • Regarding the part that Shay’s Rebellion showed a the weakness of the central government set up by the AoC, my apush teacher says that it was not a central government problem. Shay’s Rebellion was a local government issue that did not involve the national government and it was easily crushed not by federal troops, but the local government. The effect that it has on the nation is the concerns about mobocracy not central government. I would like to hear your comments on this. Thanks
