Does a Full-Time Homemaker Swap Her Mind for a Mop?
Jewish World Review ^ | 11-15-11 | Dennis Prager

Posted on 11/15/2011 11:54:18 AM PST by ReformationFan

I periodically write and regularly broadcast about male-female issues because I want to help men and women, especially husbands and wives, get along better. But I have developed a secondary reason: to elicit left-wing reactions. They reveal an enormous amount about how the left thinks. For example, one of the biggest left-wing websites (Daily Kos) wrote that "Dennis Prager advocates marital rape." Why? Because I wrote a column in which I suggested that if a woman loves her husband, and if he is a loving and good man, she might not want to be guided solely by "mood" in deciding whether and when to have sex with him. And just a few weeks ago, the same website declared me a misogynist for my column on what I believe to have been four negative legacies of feminism for women. I actually wrote the column on behalf of women, yet I was labeled a misogynist. Why? Because I suggested that feminist pressure on women to emphasize career over finding a husband, career over marriage and career over child rearing has not been good for most women or for society. That means, according to the Daily Kos writer, that "basically Prager is upset with contemporary women because they seek a life beyond being confined to domestic space and swapping their brains for a mop." To suggest that children benefit from having a full-time parent — which will usually be the mother — is, in the eyes of the dominant intellectual culture, equivalent to advocating suppression of women and "swapping their brains for a mop." The left views full-time homemakers as individuals who, because of patriarchy and other nefarious forces, have abandoned their minds to the lowest intellectual activity the human being can engage in: homemaking.

You are the one who was complaining about dup threads, I don’t have a problem with them, you do.

So, even though they are facts, I was not complaining about facts, I was pointing out that your complaining is unjustified due to others not being you, and they enjoy and are glad that threads have multiple posts because not everybody is you, and they don’t see them.

But I guess you think everybody else IS you, and we should just all do what you want regardless of how often others see the same threads you do.

Go eat your cat food.

Pointing them out is not complaining.

You have just crossed the border into Goofy land.

But I guess you think everybody else IS you, and we should just all do what you want regardless of how often others see the same threads you do.

You have just applied for citizenship in Goofy land.

And your a cranky fussy Freeper who thinks everyone should agree with him.

I don’t, deal with it.

And you can go back to your goofy land, and see pluto.

How does pointing out duplicate threads equate to thinking everyone should agree with me?

Do you not agree that there are duplicate threads?

Did I imagine the duplicates?

Are they fake?

Great. You have an opinion about it, same as I have one.

What seems to be the problem?

mine started working after 14 years at home. 6 months later, she started wearing the pants. four months later i put a stop to it. 3 years now she has lived in her parents basement with my kids. boy she sure showed me!!

some women are not angry with their men, they are angry because they cant have what they see on tv and what other women have. women are theyre own worst enemy.

As does the Admin Moderator:

a refresher course on the posting guidelines
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1755064/postsPosted on Sunday, December 17, 2006 11:55:24 PM by Admin Moderator

SEARCH

To avoid duplicate posts, please search before posting. Use the published article title to prevent duplicates. The best method to search is to pick a key word or two from the title. If the article you are posting is, "Cindy Sheehan is a witch in a ditch", start with 'Cindy' for the key word. If it is a hot topic, you might want to use two or more keywords, in this case, try 'Cindy Sheehan'. For an effective search, select 'match all words' and select 'order by post time'.

oh, one of those, kiss the mods types.

The searching function here is pathetic.

So, as a result, the self appointed brown noses here can stuff it.

I am never surprised at dup threads. Stuff happens, .........

No, I just try to follow the rules and guidelines of the web site. More a respect for the property of others while I visit and use their property.

Some folks don’t bother to learn those and it is helpful to point it out to them if they want to stay.

Some others don’t care about them and they are a pain in the behind.

And some have the strange idea that they are the self appointed do gooders, and think that they can go around and bully others.

And have no sense of giving others a benefit of the doubt when the search function here is.........shall we say, lacking? eh?

Besides, do you really think a Freeper from 2000 doesn’t know the “rules”?

I am really getting sick at all these noses covered with brown, it stinks.

OK, Ms Brownnose, PROVE it!

Show me where I double posted.

Because I didn’t, self appointed bully bitch, stick where the sun doesn’t shine. Because you already HAVE.

I didn’t claim you double posted.

But you clearly don’t care if those guidelines are followed.

I clearly don’t think it is my responsibility to “police” this site with a snotty brown nose.

And you won’t even admit that the search function here is sickly, while you hold your pompous self pride up for all to see.

I must be a full-time homemaker as I missed the other posts. I confess that I do not own a mop, and my mind is questionable.
