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?

I think that by "housewives" she meant those who SAH but who do not have children at home.

...I only know one or two women, who have shared their birth stores, that have had an uncomplicated natural childbirth.

I am not sure what article you are referring to. All you posted a link to was an abstract of one of Bernal's studies. The link to the Boston Globe article did not work, and the details of Bernal's study were not available.

The pp had distinguished a housewife as a woman without minor children who stays at home. A SAHM has minor children.

Joe won second place in his playgroup's "funniest picture" contest. He was half-blinking when I took the shot, so he looks like there is more than just juice in his cup. :-)
