32. And who said anyone has a problem with women staying home?
You're right. It's all about choices and options and if that's what's best for you and your wife, I think that's great. I also think it would be great if you stayed home and she went to work.

I don't think every woman should be in the work force, nor should every woman stay home. But that's HER choice and we have to have a system in place that makes those options available.

The problem with people like Dr. Laura is that they make women and feminism a target and place everything that's wrong with society and today's family at their feet. If only women knew "their place," everything would be OK. Well, guess what?!?! That life kinda sucked if you were the woman.

What she is proposing is not that we move forward and create new paradigms for male-female interaction. But, instead, return women to a subservient role. So, yes, people like her tend to make women angry. However, that hostility is NOT aimed at woman who truly enjoy staying home and raising their families.

If I ever (BIG if here) got married, it would be to an equal partner. I don't want to dominate him any more than I would want him to dominate me.
