If women as a group don't turn back to the greater good of having children, our country is doomed. So when you postulate some women are not good as mothers you miss the point. You maintain that women should focus on other achievement rather than child bearing. You miss the point and reinforce the losing feminist ideal.

You maintain that women should focus on other achievement rather than child bearing.

No, I said that achievements other than child bearing should not be ignored, not that they should be focused on. To focus only on child bearing has in the past de-valued women's other talents, and this should not occur again.

So when you postulate some women are not good as mothers you miss the point.

No, that is part of my point. If the only value women have is their motherhood, what value would you give those women that cannot (or should not) be mothers? Are they worthless and useless to society if they are not mothers? In the past they have been.

And to repeat a major point - I firmly believe that mothers should receive recognition and value for their work, which is often not currently done. However, I do not want to see that value perceived as their only value to society.
