Someone on another board posted this link.

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?

The first three years that I was in this profession, it actually cost the family money for me to work outside the home. And it wasn't because I was uneducated.

The fact that by working I am able to contribute to a 401K and have the company match as well as social security and employer matching...is something that I can only get by working.
