so actually being a SAHM is a career

All that being said, necessary labor ≠ career. There is no opportunity for advancement or progress for the SAHM which is a necessary component to a career and it's not a profession because it's unpaid.

How. If you’re a SAHM, are you still gaining income? Do you have a savings just in case the man decides to leave you for whatever reason? Do SAHMs have some sort of portfolio and can they put all of their work on a resume?

I'm just saying don't disrespect the work of a SAHM. It's not just sitting around playing with babies all day.

While they don't gain income, they offset expenses. Childcare and housework is an expense so significant that by electing to perform it at no cost, she saves the household around 100k a year, probably more. That's why it's understood as a job. Once kids can go to public school, it lowers the net benefit. That's why most households only have SAHMs until the kids reach school age. The reason why SAHMs are compensated in divorce proceedings is because the husband got the benefit of her labor.
