Motherism is a growing prejudice against stay-at-home mums which suggests that full-time1 mothers are unintelligent, unattractive and just plain lazy because they're not in formal employment. This entrenched2 lack of respect can mean that relative to their professional counterparts, full-time mums are held in lower esteem3 and regarded as less interesting inpiduals who've taken a downwards4 step both socially and intellectually because they've elected to stay at home.
Motherism（全职母亲歧视）指针对全职母亲们日益明显的一种歧视，觉得她们不聪慧、没魔力、变成懒女性都是由于她们没正式工作。这种根深蒂固的歧视说明，跟职场女人相比，全职母亲不太受尊重，并且被视作无趣人群，大家觉得全职母亲选择待在家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。
The use of motherism as a description of prejudice against stay-at-home mothers is attributed to Dr Aric Sigman, a biologist and psychologist renowned5 for his commentary on parenting issues and the merits of traditional values. Following the derivational pattern of racism6, sexism, etc, there's also some evidence for use of motherist as both an adjective to describe such attitudes and a countable7 noun for people who perpetuate8 them.
用motherism一词来描述全职母亲遭到的歧视要归功于生物学家及心理学家西格曼博士，他因在婴幼儿教育话题和传统价值美德方面的评论而为人熟悉。与racism（种族主义）和sexism（性别歧视）等词的衍生方法一样，motherism的衍生词motherist既可用作形容词来形容这种歧视态度，也可用作名词指抱有这种歧视态度的人。
