Every time I hear someone say that feminism is about validating every choice a woman makes I have to fight back vomit.
Do people really think that a stay at home mom is really on equal footing with a woman who works and takes care of herself? Theres no way those two things are the same. Its hard for me to believe its not just verbally placating these people so they dont get in trouble with the mommy bloggers.
Having kids and getting married are considered life milestones. We have baby showers and wedding parties as if its a huge accomplishment and cause for celebration to be able to get knocked up or find someone to walk down the aisle with. These arent accomplishments, they are actually super easy tasks, literally anyone can do them. They are the most common thing, ever, in the history of the world. They are, by definition, average. And heres the thing, why on earth are we settling for average?
If women can do anything, why are we still content with applauding them for doing nothing?
I want to have a shower for a woman when she backpacks on her own through Asia, gets a promotion, or lands a dream job not when she stays inside the box and does the house and kids thing which is the path of least resistance. The dominate cultural voice will tell you these are things you can do with a husband and kids, but as Ive written before, thats a lie. Its just not reality.
You will never have the time, energy, freedom or mobility to be exceptional if you have a husband and kids.
I hear women talk about how hard it is to raise kids and manage a household all the time. I never hear men talk about this. Its because women secretly like to talk about how hard managing a household is so they dont have to explain their lack of real accomplishments. Men dont care to manage a household. They arent conditioned to think stupid things like that are important.
Women will be equal with men when we stop demanding that it be considered equally important to do housework and real work. They are not equal. Doing laundry will never be as important as being a doctor or an engineer or building a business. This word play is holding us back.
the libtard premises that married women who have kids and run a house, “do nothing” because it’s not corporate work. anyone - manor woman - who is home running the house, and with kids/pets - knows it’s real work that needs to be done, and they aren’t getting paid for it. there is real value in a well-run house and kids who have one of their parents around at home.
funny but not too long ago feminists made the case men were sexist for holding the exact same views.
Yet another see you next Tuesday happy gal
Why do many Jewish women drink feminism and dig abortion so
Ruth?
Esther?
I doubt it
Jewish women should be breeding like rabbits...make more little tribers
Or get swallowed by we goyim....
I’m a traditional Christian....and breeding.
You must have done it to speak of it with such authority. Oh wait, you haven't? But it is so easy....
Honestly she is partly right, most people can walk down an aisle, staying married to that person for life? That is the tough part.
And for a number of women getting "knocked up" is not that easy but even if it was taking a small bundle that eats, poops and pees and raising it to be a civilized human? Once again, that is the tough part.
I have incredible admiration for women who are good mothers.
There are some women who should never, under any circumstances be allowed to birth children.
Ms. Glass is one of those women.
My girlfriend works outside of the home and would disagree 100% with this Amy character.
Amy lives in a big city hi-rise, completely plugged into the Matrix, incapable of functioning in the reality of life that exists outside the cocoon of her existence.
There must be some severe cognitive dissonance running amok within her brain to be so vitreous in her opinions of how normal women choose to live their lives.
Some titles of other articles she wrote at her blog:

BREEDER!
The dominate cultural voice ...
I( also wonder if she isn't smart enough to know that the word is "dominant?"
I married a Texan an am very happy.
Very good shot!

Amy Glass is an insane female.
Do people really think that a stay at home mom who takes care of herself, her husband, and her children is really on equal footing with a woman who works and takes care of only herself?
They are, by definition, average. And heres the thing, why on earth are we settling for average?
She's confused 'average' with 'normal'.
There's no reason to celebrate 'abnormal'
"Sarah Palin" indeed.
I could almost see the distant afterglow of Amy's cranial detonation from here in Oz!
My other problem is ... Figuring out how much more income to bring in without kicking us up to the next tax bracket.
Not that there are a lot of employers out there looking for a middle aged mom with a dusty finance degree and a gaping hole in her employment history.
Self-employed.
Retirement planning, tax planning, IRA-401K-health care insurance-final care insurance PLANNING and consulting! Even something as simple as "list all of your policies and what number they have and what they are worth". Include also "post-partum consulting" for the widow/widower and children when the advance planning didn't happen.
Thank you!
