Especially mothers.

So mothers shouldn't put themselves in harm's way? For example, mothers shouldn't run for president?

I'm not sure how to respond. A non muslim female being president compares to her standing in the middle of an agitated mob of muslim male crazies how?

Shoot me, call me a troglodyte, but I think mothers have elected to have responsibilities which are incongruent with taking stupid risks like this.

That used to be a typically held attitude. I'm sorry to see it challenged even here.

>> mothers shouldn’t run for president <<

I agree with you to the extent that they shouldn’t run if they have minor children. Raising children should always be a mother’s primary obligation. But if the “children” are now grown ups, IMHO it’s OK for a mother to run for POTUS, to be a foreign correspondent in harms way, etc.
