Note to Marsupial:
I'm not questioning that some women prefer to devote full time to raising children, are better suited for it than their husbands, and are happy doing so. Nor am I passing judgment; it's a noble calling. I am, however, attacking the proposition that there is a best way to raise a family, and that is full-time dad, and stay at home mom.

I think my wife is better fit to do that in our situation. However, I think it is a woman's choice, I just wouldn't have married a woman who did not want to do it, but that is my choice. I am not sure how the fact that women are every bit as capable of men has to do with my opinion. It appears to me that SeattleUte is the bigot as he believes it is fact that any stay at home mom is such because she is not equipped to compete with the fellas. My opinion has nothing to do with capacity of womenfolk.

Now, to your point. See my note to Marsupial. See also, my note above that I have known many stay at home moms unhappy being such who seemingly would have been more fulfilled working.

I don't agree with the perspective that women are better suited for raising a family because they are naturally unsuited to the workplace. Thus, I agree with you that employer interest in highly educated females is indicative of their collective inherent ability. If one is to make an argument that women are to stay at home, there are better reasons to support it than to say they are weak in the workplace. Up until this post, I didn't take a position. So it would impossible for it to be "untenable."

My the way, I know this is not conclusive but thousands of years of history across vast reaches of civilization are on my side. There has only been such a thing as stay at home moms in relatively insular and brief places and times, predominantly in mid-twentieth century America.

Did they say in all cases or the majority of cases. I think I would say I agree with them in most cases. However, I wouldn't go fundamentalist on it like some and feel I need to help women in the ward who work see the light. |

I think the traditional mormon family that you are imagining is the result moreso out of a belief about how the children are best served than immutable roles. Dickhead.

I do wonder though how two career driven, workaholic parents can find the time necessary for their marriage and their children. The Cosby Show was a joke. They were a doctor and a lawyer with an inordinate amount of time to spend with their family. That's not real life. My point is that there is only 24 hours in a day and if both parents are spending 10 or more working and commuting there just isn't much left for anything else. |
