Why do people hate soccer moms so much?

[Supreme Admiral]

This should be interesting thread to talking about. Upon my curiosity, I couldn’t understand why people hate soccer moms with the passion, because they’re saying that soccer moms is ruining everything like tv, video games. From what I heard, soccer moms wants to banning a certain games, that causes lots of people to pissed off to no end.

I want to know what’s the deal with people hating soccer moms so much. I know they’re the responsible for censoring everything on the tv, fearing that it could bring the nightmares to kids.

Also they’re saying that soccer moms is the disgrace of the humane society in the human history. Are they the disgrace to the humane society? Just want to know why they’re doing this.

Remember your thread about wanting to know why people couldn't understand your writing? Yea...this is why.

You REALLY need to proof your stuff. I hope your submissions don't look like this.

I think he has raised a worthwhile issue which I think we can discuss without turning the thread into another criticism of his writing ability. Let's look at his question rather than the way he worded it.

I think that women, especially mothers, have a hard time pleasing some people no matter what they do. They are criticised if they don't work, they are criticised if they do. If they take an active role (though maybe overprotective) role in their children's lives such as 'soccer moms' do they are also criticised.

They're generally considered normal.

I think it is the issue with overprotective, nosey "Won't someone think of the children!" soccer moms who make it their lives goal to have a sanitized world where no one swears, has sex before marriage or does anything that doesn't fit in their (mostly conservative) world view yet disregard any criticism of their way of conducting themselves as being intrusive or preachy.

The want to change the world according to their wishes but the world doesn't work like that.. people have a right to experience their filth, violence and unhealthy stuff and all those soccer moms need to do is actively raise their kids and take interest in what they do but no.. they want the world to be clinically clean so they don't have to watch their kids so much for signs they'll be led astray.

This is the first I've heard of people hating soccer moms.

Sometimes people call me a soccer mom, though, because I drive a minivan. It's not the manliest vehicle in the world.

Just put some curtains in it. Now it's a Love Wagon.

Because they're all dirty sluts.

This is it right there. Certain "soccer moms" want the government to censor things rather than simply just censoring it themselves. Why monitor and control what video games your kids play and TV shows they watch when the government can do it for you?

Plus they drive slow in large minivans/trucks and don't understand the concept of "acceleration lane" or "fast lane."

Trekker, or pressing on the gas when the light turns green.

I don't hate soccer moms, I just hate mini vans.

Dude, I want a Volkswagen bug, so don't worry about it.

It's just another manifestation of the PTA/Church Group problem where people who don't remember what it's like to be a child want to child-proof the world and make it unfit for adults.

Mini vans have their place and are actually nice to drive.

As a father of three who often spends 5+ hours a weekend in the van I'm sure happy we have one!

I think Miss Chicken has really gotten to the heart of this issue. Mothers in general are in a difficult position and "stay-at-home" moms can be rather harsh toward those who choose (or need) to work full-time. The same is especially true visa-versa. There seems to be a lot of sexism among women in general with the generational pressure for women to compete with men on an equal level in the professional world. Many feminists look down on women who aren't pursuing professional careers because they care only about the ratio of women to men in position and salary.

This has created some tension. When women are ready to settle down at 30-35+ -- men at the same age are pursuing younger women (20-25 range) and are settling down at roughly the same time.

Seems to be a vicious circle, as most women are forced into a choice; children and family, or professional career. Both seem to suffer a stigma, depending on who's doing the judging.

This statement confuses me. You are saying that women are ready to settle down around 30-35+ and men at the same age but you are also saying that the men are looking for women 20-25+ at the time.

So are you saying women are being forced to settle earlier than they are ready?

I'm not sure that most women are getting together with men who are 5-10 years older than them, that's a bit much. Also I think a lot of people are settling down well before the 30-35+ age.

Yeah, I don't really have anything to back up my rampant generalizations and rouge statistics... but I imagine my observation isn't that far off. Then again, I live in a city where 90% of the people I meet in their mid-20s are single professionals.

 

[Sledder]

I'm sure it depends on who you meet, 90% of the people I meet in their mid 20's are married or at least engaged. 90% of the people I know in their late 20's have had their first child already.

Different circles obviously.

 

[iguana_tonante]

Because they're all dirty sluts.

Everybody loves dirty sluts... except for soccer moms.

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

Americans hate soccer moms because soccer isn't a real sport.
The British hate soccer moms because they don't call it "football."

And it's mum, not mom

So what exactly is a football mum anyhow?
