Imagine women wishing to stay home and raise their children!
How dare they?
LOL! Well that was good for a morning laugh.
Especially the part about it not being fair that only rich women can afford to stay home with their kids.
Most of the moms I know, who stay home with their kids and/or homeschool their kids, certainly aren't rich.
I have a B.A., but I dropped out of the work force for 15 years (from the time my son was born, until he entered the dual credit program at our local college.) We weren't rich, we just made concessions in order to live on one salary, so I could be at home and homeschool.
Julie has missed the clue bus. The good news is that she has a few more chances to hop aboard.
Interesting that such "fulfilled professional women" have a huge problem with what everyone else does. :-)
I found out that everything the liberal feminists told me was false. I have also discovered that the George Costanza approach works amazingly well. :D
It doesn't, and it never will. And everything it touches it destroys and debases.
Translation: There can't possibly be any satisfaction in being a mother...
I wonder if the author is just spouting liberal gobbledegook from her profs, or if she really holds full-time mothers in so much contempt because of her own childhood.
Come on, she's 20. This is the post-secondary equivalent of hanging a crayola masterpiece on the refrigerator.
What is missing in the story is how males of the same age think about the idea that competition for college education was about the competition and not for the purpose of gainful employment.
I know one young guy who stopped dating a teacher cause her intent was to marry and then retire so the hubby could take care of her.
Boy this article is really full of Liberal blather.
She could not even right an article about rich women with throwing down the race card with it.
It is an article of faith for these Liberals that there can not be any rich minorities who send their daughters to ivy league schools.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaa!
I Pity the fool that tags *that*.
This Lil Ms Misery Bitch, is fighting
the Socialist FemiNazi against Men, all
of her life, and she's not going to be
happy, unless *she's* the dominant
partner...*all* the time..another one
that will end up like Maureen Shroud.
What a bitter woman...
Kinda judgmental, isn't she?
That explains it all......
Oh she's only *starting* to get bitter.
She's just 20 years old *now*..wait until
she's 36, and starts becoming sexually
"invisible" even to desparate, middle aged
men...Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
ping for later
She ain't a woman. She's only 20 years old. I wonder what her mother did to cause this?
Julie needs to shut her yap and make me some Pie....
"Julie Shiller, 20, of West Orange, N.J., is a junior majoring in sociology at the University of Hartford."
Having attended elite, liberal universities in my past, I can understand that there will be one shrill twit like this young "lady" in the crowd on campus, one with the foolishness to embarrass herself and her parents with nonsense like this.
Her thesis is interesting ... clearly, she sees herself as one of the privileged who is allowed to make the motherhood choice. Little does she realize, that as a sociology major, her earning potential is not much better than that of a high school dropout with a job a McDonald's.
I actually find some consolation in that thought.
For a college educated feminist she has a hard time putting together a coherent thought.
She says that “all women should be permitted to be full-time mothers” yet she chastises those who when they have the were-withal to do so chose to do so.
Or is it that she wants those who desire to be full time mothers to for go the education that their wealthy parents can provide?
No.
It is not an equal choice when less wealthy and marginalized women are not granted the option.
She believes that because less advantaged women may not have the choice (so she believes) to be full time mothers there is an inequality. It isn’t fair!
Well she is right of course that life isn’t fair. Equal outcomes in life are not guaranteed at birth. Never have been and never will be. Anywhere at any time.
Women who were born into an unearned advantaged position are relinquishing their power and independence to patriarchy.
I don’t know what kind of home this young woman grew up in, my stay at home mom ruled the roost. She handled the checkbook. Also I think that a woman with an Ivy League education is more than likely to re-enter the workforce in some fashion after raising her children. With today’s smaller families she is likely to be in her early to late forties when she goes to work.
While raising her children she may work as a part time volunteer on political campaigns or in charities. She could write for local papers on local matters. The opportunities for forfilling work while raising children are endless.
This, from the party of choice? Seems like according to feminists, women should only have a choice when they choose what the feminists want.
Nope, she'll get a job working at some county Social Services Department. She'll cry with welfare moms and blame it all on Our Evil Society.
