What a stupid young socialist. There is nothing wrong with a woman having a career and ambition. Nothing at all. Both are good things. But women do have a primary biological role as human beings and that is to bring children into this world. Once they do have the children, they shouldn't wash their hands of them.
Society is best served when these children are raised right. A baby-sitter or a day care can’t do the job of a loving mother. I think part of the reason for teenage crime, and the weakening of the american family is that fewer kids are being raised primarily by their own parents anymore. To me that is tragic.
My wife took off work until our children were in school. She found it much more rewarding and important than anything she had ever done professionally. She’s now back in the work world and doing well. You’d think the young “feminist” would be happy that my wife was given the freedom in our society to make a choice about how to live her life and that she has been able to succesfully balance career ambition in a field that women didn't have much access to fifty years ago, and being a wonderful mother.
Also, another great option is to have a dad at home. My brothe was a stay at home dad. It was great for their family. His wife had a great job, and my brother struggled with cancer. When he wasn't sick, he was a Boy Scout Leader, baseball and basketball coach, and a great dad.
He died last year and his old Boy Scout Troop and Little League Team both talk about him at his funeral.
He left a bigger impression on kids by being a stay at home dad.
