Militants - are they for real?

Someone on another board posted this link.
http://blogs.babycenter.com/celebrities/2009/04/12/dr-laura-says-all-moms-should-stay-at-home/?scid=momstodd_20090414_A:2&pe=2U8vYLf
It's about Dr. Laura saying that all women should be SAHMs until the child is at least 3 years old.
Whether we're talking about working or staying at home, I can't quite wrap my head around what is going on inside the brains of people that apply the phrase "all women should".
Do you think militants are actually serious, or just trying to get a rise out of others?

Thank you for finally answering my question. I appreciate it.
"Last time I checked, it was part of the job of a PARENT to make sure their children are supervised at ALL times"
Of course, but I do not see how sleeping accounts for time spent with the child. Being home at the same time, doesn't mean you are doing anything with the child that is considered quality time. Unless, of course, the working mother doesn't find that important either.

"Thank you for finally answering my question. I appreciate it."
Unfortunately that wasn't my answer. Nice chop job though.
I'll post it again for you.
"What answer would you be looking for? Women posting stated no planning will save a stay at home mom. They also determined being independently wealthy won't guarantee anything either. How exactly would you like me to answer? The answer has already be given by working mothers and their advocates. No one can guarantee they can stay home."
You know i've read this whole thread with interest - mostly b/c I could care less whether you change your mind and I know you won't change mine so I'm not exactly plunging into this ddebate -- but you know even if I were fantastically wealthy, I don't think I'd be a 'homemaker"
"But this doesn't guarentee that you or any other woman that did the same will NEVER have to work."
How do you know? All you know is some woman
"You know i've read this whole thread with interest - mostly b/c I could care less whether you change your mind "
Are you attempting to say, "you couldn't care less".
What you just said was you do care.<>
Yes, you have made that clear.

I agree, and I'm glad to see that this is your view.

You are entitled to that opinion. Most mothers love their children enough to earn money to afford their children before resorting to giving them up.

To be perfectly honest, I agree with that. I count only waking hours as time spent with children. However, my opinion is that *raising* occurs 24/7 since raising a child encompasses much more than face time, and this is where we appear to disagree.
meh I dunno I guess it's conceivable I COULD care less than I do now -- like right now I care about
