Are Stay at Home Moms “Letting Down the Team?” [Feminists bemoan cultural trend]

Only if your "team" isn't your family.

Hirshman, I don't owe you jack.

I get the strong suspicion that this woman knows how wrong she is, but feels that if she squawks long enough and loud enough, what she knows is wrong will become right.

Her ignorance is astounding. Feminism was about giving a woman more opportunities, not about making women into men.

When my older sister opted to stay at home and raise my nieces, my mom was very angry. She could not understand why someone would give up money and "Intelligent conversation" to raise kids. My mom did stay at home, but always complained about it.

I told my bride that if possible, we would raise our kids ourselves. She wasn't sure about it until she started teaching preschool and running a daycare. Now she is adamant that no one will raise her kids except for us.

There is hope for the next generation.

Let the conservative women procreate and the liberals breed themselves out of existence. Works for me.

" 80 percent of the 41 women ". Wow, all this on an interview with approx 30 women. No, hirshman already had her bitter pill to swallow. The bogus interviews are just for a veneer of psuedo-professionalism.

Even sexist cavemen know that people for whom work is life, have no life.

When I was in grade school, I read a book about a kid that was kidnapped in England by Marxist wannabees. They were holding him hostage demanding that all children be turned over to the State for raising, freeing the mom's for "better work".

I remember thinking that was a really odd notion. As I got older, it became apparent that there is a large number of people that want that. It frightens me like nothing else.

LOL..thanks for posting in the spirit of my comment. Gee, I thought stool gazers was funny myself. And since he applied it those who are OVERLY interested in the poop I didn't think the moms on this thread would take it to apply to them.

When I think of hubby's female coworkers and the females in the power chain, I think DYSFUNCTIONAL.

[bonfire]

My hubby on the phone with one of them now!

According to Hirshman's diagnosis, this problem is largely traceable to the fact that too many women are staying at home with their children. In particular, she attacked the notion that women should feel free to choose motherhood as a life calling.

Anti-choice?

"More importantly, when they quit, they were already alienated from their work or at least not committed to a life of work."

A woman who stays home with her children is certainly committed to a life of work. More importantly, she is committed to her life's work.

A good life for humans includes the classical standard of using one's capacities for speech and reason in a prudent way, the liberal requirement of having enough autonomy to direct one's own life,...

My wife would kick this nitwit's butt if she ever mouthed off this nonsense to her.

And I'm not aware that mom isn't directing her life. In fact, we talked about this very subject last night after my wife told me to take the garbage out...

What feminsts are REALLY trying to say:

Translation: "Women who have sex with men in any way are traitors to feminism. Women who produce children and then live with the father (in GASP!) marriage are gender-traitors in the first degree."

It should also be noted how feminist write like feminism is the default position of society. Feminism is just a PC construct to benefit ugly women and lesbians.

Who has answered the HIGHEST calling of womanhood?

A) "Senator from NY" Hilary Clinton
B) ANY woman/wife who has raised her own children as a homemaker.

[Malacoda]

Count me in that club, as well. I use my MA to teach the occasional night course in English Lit, but my real job is my kids.

[longtermmemmory]

Feminists are angry that feminism was given money and funding and has failed.

However do not count it out. Remember the is a exodus of men from universities. The women still get preferential treatment to the ivory tower and men get the door closed.

Even Newsweeks guide to colleges does not show the caucasian male on their cover only one asian woman, a caucasian woman, and a black male. Femists are calculating and COUNTING on the degree gap to reverse this motherhood is the highest calling trend.

i agree with this woman completely.. moms should be in the office... let us dads stay home with the kids!!

currently, my wife is a stay at home mom. we discussed the issue at length and we decided that since my job had the better insurance, i was stuck working and she got to stay home. it was never a question of whether or not one of us would stay home... we only had to argue over who was the lucky one that got to do it.
