For what it's worth.

Rubbish. Get back into the kitchen at cook my tea, wench!

Good news. Women should have the right to a career outside the home if they want one.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Well, it's a very good surprise. I'd have never expect such results, especially since it includes parts of the world where basic women's rights are anything but granted...

The 9% agreeing that women should be at home seems a little low though, especially for the lower middle class and poor people, but it's not really surprising.

Brothel.  But I find this study dubious.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Remember people, there are no issues like "women's issues" for people to say (and probably intellectually believe) one thing and in practice do the other.

[k-onmmunist]

Much higher than I expected.

Something might effectively be hit here, I'd think that'd be more of a Western political correctness though, but yah, we might haven't the monopoly of it.

And get us some scones while you're at it!

How on Earth would one go about polling the world?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

odd that the article makes a dichotomy between "home" and "workplace."   i wonder what the phrase "a woman's place is in the home" would actually mean to people once translated into different languages and different economic cultures.

I've seen polls of China, India, Japan, Russia, Europe, Australia/New Zealand, North America, Latin America, North Africa/Middle East, etc.  I suppose you could average them all together.  (Oh, and sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia too, I guess)

Well, yes, but you can't poll most of those places and expect to get anything worthwhile.

[Ban my account ffs!]

come on gentlemen and wenches, this is simply feminazi propaganda from the lesbian far left activists. 

Most women actually prefer to be in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant!

"And, perhaps surprisingly, people aged between 18 and 34 years are most likely to hold that view, not those from the older, and more traditional, generation."

That's what I've noticed. The younger generation may be more conservative in private life (e.g. this), but more liberal in public life (e.g. more tolerant of gay marriage, abortion, immigrants, etc). Anyone else see this way?

According to what I would observe around me, I'd say intellectually conservative, but liberal in practice, and with the conservative part growing in a near future.

Personally, that also was the sense of my 'for what it's worth' when I posted this.

A better and far more accurate title would be '74% of people who could be asked in random countries says a woman's place is not at home'

Less appealing.

[Speed of Sound]

Yeah, but did they poll women in this? They shouldnt be getting a vote in this!

The article said they did poll men and women equally, and that results shew that each kind of opinion was shared by both men and women in a balanced way. Then, were women sincere when saying they'd prefer stay home and were men honest when they said a woman's place is not at home, well, honesty of answers belongs to polled persons, this poll is just something anybody does what the one want to do with it, with all the limits it can contain, at least it's something that might not be totally wrong, maybe, and anyways never unpleasant to hear.
