Episode 95
Should mom entrepreneurs be called “mompreneurs?”
In this episode of S*%! People Say, I want to chat about a phrase I hear quite often as a mom and an entrepreneur: “mompreneur.”
While the phrase doesn’t bother me personally, I want to quickly dive into the discussion around it:
- Does calling a woman a “mompreneur” diminish the work of fathers who are entrepreneurs? Is that a point worth making when women still perform a majority of child-related tasks while earning less than men for the same jobs?
- Does the term “mompreneur” diminish the work of women, similar to the argument some make against “lady boss” and “girl boss?”
I’ll share my thoughts and hope you chime in too—share what you think with me on LinkedIn!
