<p> 为了更好地照顾小孩，不少女性选择辞去工作在家里当全职妈妈。在一些人看来，全职妈妈待在家里，不用每天奔波去上班，似乎很闲适的样子；甚至还有一些人对全职妈妈抱有歧视心理，觉得她们没有追求，不上进。这种歧视态度就叫<span word="motherism">motherism</span>。</p><p> </p><p> <span

word="Motherism">Motherism</span>（全职妈妈歧视）指针对全职妈妈们日益明显的一种歧视，认为她们不聪慧、没有魅力、变成懒女人都是因为她们没有正式工作。这种根深蒂固的歧视说明，跟职场女性相比，全职妈妈不太受尊重，并且被视作无趣人群，人们认为全职妈妈选择待在家里就意味着她们无论在社交方面还是在学术方面都开始走下坡路。</p><p> <span
