“Don’t you want your wife to
come home from work and be there for your children?”
That was one of the “lines” that our Platinum used to tell us to use when
prospecting for new IBO’s.
I think its a sexist comment. Who says that all wives have - or want -
children? Maybe they don’t want neither - no outside job, no children. Are they
excluded from this Amway lament? Who’s to say that women who stay home MUST
have children? Our sack of shit Platinum, that’s who. Male chauvinist pig!
Only women who have children are “allowed” to come home from work? Bullshit!
That fucking Platinum is just another man who takes women for granted. Somehow
the house gets cleaned, the laundry gets done, the garbage gets taken out, the
lawn is mowed, the garden is weeded, meals get cooked, the cookie jar is full,
etc. Does he think some magical fairy is taking care of all of this?
If the husband and wife are both working then they should have equal
responsibility for all house and yard chores. On the other hand if either the
husband or wife stays at home while their spouse is the bread winner then logic
dictates that the one staying home would be taking care of the bulk of the
house work and yard work. If they have children then there is more work
involved. Its pretty much a full time job taking care of the house.
But how come the question is never reversed? “Don’t you want your husband to
come home from work and be there for your children?”
Nope can’t say as how I ever heard that one from the sexist son of a bitch.
I’ve worked for a few different companies and whenever female employees went on
maternity leave they very rarely returned to work - and none of them were
involved in Amway. They figured out with their husband whether or not it made
economic sense for them to return to work or stay home. A lot depends on which
spouse has a better paying job, better education, better chance of earning a
living. Or if they’re self employed, is the business income good enough for one
spouse not to need to work.
If a husband does not want his wife working an outside job (and be there for
the children if they have any) then they’ll figure out a way to do so. This
might mean working overtime, a second job, or finding other ways to increase
the business income. Despite what some lousy Amway IBO might pressure them into
believing, becoming an Amway IBO is not the only solution “to get your wife to
come home from work”. More precisely its a bad solution because of the 1%
chance of success in the Amway business. Most IBO’s will lose money and then
the pissed off spouse ends up going back to work to help get out of debt.
There are men out there who have been brainwashed by their upline into
believing the only way “to have your wife come home from work” is by becoming
an IBO and they must accomplish this goal of getting their wife free or else
they’re a loser. Totally brainwashed into believing that if their wife has a
J.O.B. then he’s not man enough and he’s a loser. Amway speak discounts
any other method where a wife could retire early from her job. My mother worked
until she had me and then she never worked a job ever again other than
occasionally assisting my father with his business. Neither of my parents were
involved in Amway and they retired early. Well, my mother many years before my
father!
To any brainwashed ambots who parrot their upline by using the line “don’t you
want your wife come home from work and be there for your children” when
prospecting, are you a bunch of sexist male chauvinist pigs? Does your Platinum
require you to regularly watch The Stepford Wives?
It really pisses me off when I see ambots spouting off about how Amway got
their wife free like this is such a huge accomplishment and then throwing it in
everyone’s face. Like no other man in the history of earth has ever had a wife
who does not work a job.
“I got my wife free. Wouldn’t you like to duplicate me and get your wife free
too?” I want to scream everytime I hear some bastard saying this and all I want
to do is throw a sexist comment right back at them. The next ambot that uses
that line is going to hear this: “Its the man’s job to provide for his wife.
Why are you such a fucking loser that you haven’t been doing that all along?
Why are you an even bigger fucking loser and involved in Amway?”
OK. I feel better now that I’ve got that one off my chest!
Some of those ambots - read into this our Platinum - have attitudes from
another era when it comes to how a wife should be treated. But if you
throw an attitude from another era right back at them then they throw a hissy
fit.
I was free from my job before the Amway dark days. So stick that in your hat
and smoke it.
The totally absurd thing about this idea of freeing your wife from her job by signing up in Amway is this: 99% of all persons signed up as IBOs in Amway make NO MONEY AT ALL! So the whole thing is what lawyers call "a moot
ReplyDeletepoint." The overwhelming majority of persons signed up in the Amway racket won't ever make enough money to support their families or even just themselves, much less allow their wives to quit their jobs.
All of this bullshit about letting your wife come home to the kids is what is called "a talking point." That means some stupid and irrelevant argument that a con-man or a scam artist will just throw out in the air to sound good, and to convince a victim to do something.
Anonymous - Amway is full of con artists so it makes sense that they peddle the old bullshit to get your wife free from her job. Seeing as only a tiny fraction of 1% of Amway participants actually make money in this pyramid scheme - most will be drowning in debt and unable to get the wife free from her job for many years after quitting ScAmway.
