YOu got that right sir!!

I’m not sure where Ritter is coming from.

No one does--with psychology, you pretty much make it up as you go along.

Gretchen Ritter, a women’s studies professor at the University of Texas, has a problem with stay-at-home moms—actually, several problems. Stay-at-home motherhood, she explains, is bad for men, women, and children alike. It damages our society as a whole and makes lesbian mothers feel bad.

You just cannot make stuff like this up.

and makes lesbian mothers feel bad.

And, we cannot have that, can we?

[CzarNicky]

most of the reasons she postulated are either good for society or just plain wrong.

[shaggy eel]

All I know is that she writes like someone who lives on a planet of her own

,,, that sums it up perfectly. Other people have real jobs, while Ritter makes a living out of supposing.

[BenLurkin]

These types of professors must be mocked out loud and at every opportunity.

"A perfect example of a person educated well beyond the reach of her intelligence."

Exactly.

The goal of the "feminist" revolution was to enable women the freedom and right to choose their own destiny, based on their own individual ability and dreams, and not be forced to play a role they detested, based solely on their sex.

My daughter currently dreams of being a stay at home mother and homeschooling the four children she plans to have with her future husband.

She wavers monthly between doing that, or becoming POTUS.

I tell her both are worthy goals, and that it will be up to her to choose which path in life she will follow.

Sad that the largely successful efforts of past generations of women are so misunderstood by liberals.

[RosieCotton]

It's women like that that make me even more convinced (though I've never been anything but convinced) that if I do have children someday, I'll be staying home with them and we will be homeschooling unless there is a very, very good alternative. I do NOT want people like this brainwashing my children, especially my daughters, into believing that motherhood is somehow a second rate profession for evil wackos who want to undermine society.

[Old Professer]

I long for the good old days when lesbian-mothers was still an oxymoron.

[FITZ]

and makes lesbian mothers feel bad.

Why would they feel bad anyhow? The more masculine lesbian could go off to work and support the other one who stays at home. I hope no one is paying this Ritter person to come up with this garbage.

[freekitty]

How does making lesbian mothers fit into this senario.

[Melas]

Ritter is obviously a few cards short. I wonder what she'd think of me? I'm a man who's stayed home with his children for going on 13 years now. What do you want to bet me that she'd be inconsistant and find no problem with that?

[FourPeas]

Ms. Ritter's perspective may seem odd, but I was raised by parents who shared it, with the possible exception of the sensativity to lesbians. With this view of stay-at-home mothers, a lot of other priorities get seriously out of whack, too. It's scary.

[ApplegateRanch]

“Women who stay at home . . . lose a chance to contribute as professionals and community activists. . . .

If it prevents even just ONE woman from "becoming a community activist" then it is worth it to make EVERY woman be a stay-home mother!!

PS...it would also eliminate the likes of Ritter, as an added bonus!

[victim soul]

There goes the family farm. grrrrrrr

Loony lesbos...I haven't met a communist I didn't want to beotch-slap severely.
