And as for believing the content of such poppycock boxes, well, ... sheesh.
Can we have her imprisoned as soon as possible before she gets somebody hurt?!
I have this article on my refrigerator. Everyone that comes by and reads it thinks it's a joke. Sadly, the moron professor is serious!
Along with this hilarious bit, the rest of the article is too funny to read without laughing. What a looney-tune.

University of Texas professor. I'm embarrassed!
As a former stay at home mom, I can assure this idiot writer that I did not only the HARDEST job in the world, but also the most grossly underpaid job...
Yeesh, I know men who would not have lasted a day in my house when I had 3 kids in diapers...
what an insult to me, and to stay at home moms everywhere
Well obviously, when was the last time anyone saw a man give birth to a child.
There is only one way to stop this nonsense. We have to attack tenure in universities. Idiots like this woman should never have jobs at a publicly-funded school. Parents who send their children to the University of Texas should be demanding this dingbat be fired immediately for attempting to undermine the most fundamental and worthwhile role of a woman in society - to raise her children.
anyone who knows an alumni from here should email them
this so they don't give any money to morons like this
Now, this is scary!!!
Dear folks who want political change in this country Would you
like to help register likely Demcratic voters in swing states? I'm
looking for 4-6 people to join a small letter-writing party this
Thursday (July 29), using data provided by Mainstreet Moms
Oppose Bush (www.themmob.com)
We'll write letters encouraging single moms in Ohio to vote for
change, and we'll send voter registration forms. I'll provide some
letters that you can personalize, or you can compose your own.
She hasnt' a clue that the culture has evolved beyond her mindset. Most kids, IMHO, of this day and age; don't see a gender "division" when mommy stays home -- they are glad a parent is at home with them. Furthermore, daughters of these "stay at home moms" have much more time to consider what careers they'd like to go into, and with Mommy (or Daddy) right there to ask all the right questions, and to carefully weigh the arguments with the growing young adult.
I have many, many things to say about this. I swear to God, I cannot type them without swearing up a storm. You take it from there.
However, let's cut to the chase of this Professor's verbiage: she's pro-tax. Meaning, the more women work, the more taxes get collected. Professor doesn't say squat about the majority of DAY CARE WORKERS -- WHO ARE PREDOMINANTLY FEMALE -- these workers get a pass and because the feminist agenda is about MONEY.
There are so many problems with her thesis I won't dare attempt to list them all. But I will mention one thing that irks me about people like her: collectivism.
The feminist movement was origially all about women being able to make thier own decisions and direct their own lives as each individual woman sees fit. Whether that means being an 7-11 clerk, an astronaut, a schoolteacher or a mother ... makes no difference. It's up to the individual to decide.
Each person on the planet is a unique INDIVIDUAL with unique talents, abilities, aspirations, etc.
What women like the author of this piece are proposing is that women should be herded (like sheep) in one direction and to deny individual free choice. This is the exact opposite of what feminism was originally about and what it should still be about.
Women are unique individual human beings, not sheep or cattle, and we do not need to have others (especially other women) telling us what we "should" and "should not" be doing with our lives.
Incidently, the same is true of people collectively telling women they belong at home raising children. She is no better than these kind of people.
Collectivists are evil.
My husband's ex-wife told him that I was a poor role model for their daughters because I'm a stay-at-home Mom and she's a bank vice president. What she didn't consider was that while she was busy climbing the banking ladder, I was taking care of her children, as well as my own. And I tried to give them the love and attention that they so desparately wanted from their mother.
Vermont is moving towards mandatory state indoctrination of children from birth. Already there are those here who say parents raising their own children are "abusing" them.
Ack! Why didn't you ping me here????? :-).
Yeah, what she said!!!!!
