Come on--you know my type of sense of humor by now--well at least I think you do?!?:) I should have included a smiley face though:)
While reading this article I was initially sorry that I missed the interview on Good Morning America. On second thought, I reassured myself that I made the right decision years ago not to watch the networks, or much of anything else on TV. Reading this article, this feminazi's message is LOUD and CLEAR!!!!
>>>>>“In attacking "choice feminism," Hirshman asserts that women who give themselves to mothering undermine the status of all women and threaten the emergence of an egalitarian civilization.”<<<<
WHAT? Is this a joke? So, women can choose to murder their unborn babies, but how dare they choose to give birth and then be selfish by raising them? This would be laughable if it wasn’t so sick!
Feminism, with the assistance of liberalism,secularism,and the ENEMEDIA,( using the educational system and the entertainment industry among others), may have succeeded in indoctrinating and brainwashing some females, but there is one thing they will not be able to accomplish…taking the intense desire of most females to marry and have children.
It is worth living in a smaller house, having an older car, going on fewer vacations…whatever it takes, to be at home to teach your children YOUR beliefs and values, and to not subject them to all the garbage that is out there!
Of course, there is a much more qualified source than feminists to teach us how to live.
"Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,
so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.
Titus 2:3-5
Thank you for sharing your story! What a special gift your wife gave you...letting you know that she was grateful for her life as a Homemaker!
Reading Proverbs 31 we see the value of a homemaker.
10 An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.
13 She looks for wool and flax, And works with her hands in delight.
14 She is like merchant ships; She brings her food from afar.
15 She rises also while it is still night, And gives food to her household, And portions to her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it; From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength, And makes her arms strong.
18 She senses that her gain is good; Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hands grasp the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor; And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household, For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells [them,] And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future.
26 She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband [also,] and he praises her, [saying:]
29 "Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all."
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, [But] a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
31 Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates.
Proverbs 31:10-31 (NASB)
Thank you for the excellent post.
Thank you so much for that verse, it was wonderful, and very much needed in this thread
My 18 month old son was on my lap when I scrolled past the baby picture. He let me know he had seen it.
You are undoubtedly heroes. You chose forming minds to forming widgets.
"Gee, free will's a bitch."

If the results don't fit the theory, change the rules so that they do...
The target of the Feminist is the adequate woman--the woman who excels in the areas that normal women excel in, not in competition with men, in roles normally considered male roles. Anyone who cannot understand that being a wife and mother is a far more important role in the survival and flowering of the species, race, nation or community, than a clerical or sales job working nine to five for an impersonal corporation, is compulsion driven or just plain stupid.

Who wants to admit they're stuck spending 40+ hours per week doing something they'd rather not do? (Feminist pseudo-intellectuals may enjoy propagating their Big Lie.)
My wife and I were married about 20 months ago. I have a J.D., and she has a Masters in Music Education. She knew that once we got married, what she really wanted to do was stay at home and be a housewife and homemaker. Tomorrow, she will be 38 weeks pregnant with our first child, and we're both ecstatic. She has no desire to return to work outside the house (there will be plenty of work available at home) and looks forward to the most important vocation that she can imagine: being a mother to our child.
I am constantly amazed at how fulfilling it is to have someone like that by my side.
To all other wives who are making the conscious decision to stay at home and be a source of comfort and support for their children (and their husbands), thank you. You are making a big difference in the lives of America's future.
Yes, smilies are good. It sounded as if you thought I was getting on to you and I wasn't. I certainly know you aren't a stool gazer!...and neither was I. My oldest was very constipated as a baby so I do understand when you need to be concerned about things. But the doctor was talking about those folks who freaked if the poop didn't arrive at a certain hour and minute every day.
Congratulations! Now do remember as you go through life with your wife though that there are times when she needs to get away from the kids...and be by herself and with you alone. Keep up with dating her! And don't talk about the kids while on your dates. That seems to be our biggest struggle on this end of things now. So much to do that sometimes our relationship seems pushed to the back burner. Don't let that happen and your wife will be happier I assure you.
