In Europe we’re already seeing women performing better in the kind of jobs that are available in modern western countries.
Besides, government can do a better job raising children.
I don't want government to maintain a monopoly on the schools. I want people to have school choice and have the equal opportunity to send their kids to any school they want and one that represents their values.
And you think that Rick Santorum is insulting to women?
Never once did I say Rick Santorum is insulting to women. Don't put words in my mouth. It's silly to take anything I said as an insult, when I'm specifically saying women have far more ways to contribute to society and the economy than only by raising children. By your logic, I could say you're insulting to children, because you think they need parental supervision to properly develop as individuals and can't do it on their own.
I think too much mothering and parenting is one of the bad trends in our society, hence we now have kids who are supposed to be able to stay on their parents' health insurance to age 27 and are still living at home at that age. I think kids should be working as early as possible while they go to school and be kicked out of the nest and pay their own way as early as possible. For the amount of time I think a kid should be spending with his parents, both parents would have more than enough free time to have at least a part-time job. Certainly in my experience, most of what I learned I learned from the world outside the family home, not from my parents. If I listened to them, I'd be a Democrat. When you have Democrat parents but you go to a traditional Catholic school like myself, you can see how I was much better off with the values I was taught at school than the ones I was taught at home.
At any rate, that's my opinion, and there's no reason for you to be insulted by my opinion or for me to be insulted by yours.
