'On his show Thursday, anchor Lou Dobbs highlighted a new study showing that four in 10 households now have female, rather than male, breadwinners. One of Dobbs' guests, Erick Erickson, called it "anti-science" and said women should not be competing for a "dominant role" in a family. "Having moms as the primary breadwinner is bad for kids and bad for marriage," Erickson continued'

The scientologist didn't show up on your LIBDAR?
This social engineering will drive this country into a ravine. Children need a mother for specific purposes, and a father for specific purposes.
It’s amazing, we’re always accused of being anti-science, yet biology makes our case! Nature intended it to be a certain way, and we continue to fight it, only ending in disaster.
“But did not Galatians also say that in Christ there is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female?”
Yes. More precisely:
“For now that you have faith in Christ you are all sons of God. All of you who were baptised into Christ have put on the family likeness of Christ. Gone is the distinction between Jew and Greek, slave and free man, male and femaleyou are all one in Christ Jesus.” - Galatians 3
So ALL can be forgiven and accepted by God in Christ. That does NOT mean that no one cares if they are free or salve, or that there is no societal difference between free & slave, male & female.
It appears that the women of today only need a man to satisfy their maternal needs then they can palm the kids off to a third person to raise them while they go off to pursue what ever their feminist agenda might be. Having been raised in a home that lacked a Mother I can speak from experience. It leaves ones missing all the things that Mothers used to offer their children.
Yes I don’t really think God cares who the breadwinner is as long as everyone is happy.
Megyn got mad over some violation of a feminazi shibboleth during election night too. She was grumpy and petty. She’s a feminist zealot that you can look at on TV and that’s it.
The whole problem that this ‘breadwinner’ study outlines is with men. It is not the women who are failing, it is the men.
Ideally, a man should be the breadwinner for his family. This is very important for his sense of worth and value. It’s biological for a man to perhaps feel inadequate if it seems that his wife could do fine without him.
Woman’s responsibility is to raise the children, to watch out for them, to keep a good home. This doesn’t preclude pursuing careers, but should be the primary directive.
Man’s responsibility is to provide for his family, and give religious instruction to children.
The differences between men and women are obvious, and necessary for us to function as a species. We need to stop running from our own nature. If a woman does not wish to devote her time and energy to a family, then she should not have one. Women are perfectly free not to have families. This isn’t India, where you get sold off to be Sanjay’s wife when you’re twelve.
I am happy for Kelly and Van Susteren, who have both achieved a lot in their lives, but the greatest achievement for any woman should be raising great kids. And I think to do that, you have to be around.
Your post is correct and well put.
There are exceptional people and there are exceptional circumstances. In the past, we sacrificed the exceptional to promote the traditional family, so that children could be brought into the world and raised in stable and loving households headed by their biological parents. There was nothing wrong or sinister about this. Today, in very different circumstances, we should seek to allow the exceptional as well as to promote the traditional family. We shouldn’t be forced to choose between these two things.
Here husband is a young retired entrepreneur who is now at home writing books while Megyn works at Fox. So there you have it. Although they may (or may not) have someone or someones looking after the children while they both work. He is most likely Mr. Mom because this is the set up of the ‘stay at home’ writing spouse. Megyn is busy in the office. He most likely oversees the home sphere. Thus her defensiveness.
Your parenthetical comment is spot on. MK is probably smart enough to realize such children are growing up exposed to a reversal of the natural male-female roles.
Megan has been showing her .....true colors here of late. She is an accomplished lawyer, has a primo gig on FOX, enjoys her celebrity, makes a lot of money, has adoring fans, and admittedly is an attractive woman who is constantly getting reinforced in her mind. But, she does this for 12 hours per day and at a cost....she does not see her children as much as she might.....it will have an effect....but....her choice. We shall see.
Talk to a goat expert. They are very clever critters and it will want to jump into your garden. One person told me his goat raided his hot pepper plants with no ill effect
Texas... The past two years, he's been paying more.. since both are in college.
In Ephesus things were so screwy that they were teaching that Eve was wiser because she ate the apple first!
There was a lot of confusion about women's roles because women were worshipped at places like the Temple of Artemis. Women prostitutes were considered to have a vital role in worship at the temples.
Paul was setting things right by stating that women were sinners just as much as men; Paul desired that the idolatry rampant in the culture was not to seep into the church; thus, his emphasis on strengthening the male role.
There are some parallels today on the left...feminazis want women to be worshipped by males (aka "The Feminine Mystique" by Betty Friedan). And some of these flakes do think women should run everything. But we haven't yet gone as far as 1st century Rome. So I'm not sure that Paul's admonition means, that no woman should work. The important thing is...it's great if a woman wants to stay home and nurture the kids and is happy doing that. As much praise should be extended toward her as the woman who works and feels that is right. Megan Kelly has no right to denigrate the woman who chooses to stay home.
“Greta is also a Scientologist”
Which proves she’s not playing with a full deck. Nothing but
an athiest.
I don’t see that the Bible fosbids women working outside the home. What I see happening though is, many times women try to sub out their nurturing role in order to get extra’s. It doesn’t work out too well for the children and many times it hurts their husband’s ability to earn.

Megyn Kelly was overly defensive. I suspect she leaves her husband at home to raise her kids. I shut it off. The whole argument was stupid.
Boy I profoundly dislike chinny harridan Kelly.
She played the homo and race card totally out of context
That stern haircut...hear me roar
I guess daddy never noticed her enough or she hated mommy being dependent on him
Something got in her head
