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?

Here is the actual definition of "run amok"--

"Adj. 1. amok - frenzied as if possessed by a demon; "the soldier was completely amuck"; "berserk with grief"; "a berserk worker smashing windows"
amuck, berserk, demoniac, demoniacal, possessed
insane - afflicted with or characteristic of mental derangement; "was declared insane"; "insane laughter"
Adv. 1. amok - wildly; without self-control; "when the restaurant caught fire the patrons ran amuck, blocking the exit"
amuck
2. amok - in a murderous frenzy; "rioters running amuck and throwing sticks and bottles and stones"
amuck, murderously "

Obviously, even you can see that when a child is in a supervised activity, they are not running amok.

Why, so I can sit besides them 24/7/365?

See, then there is no need to replace the time not spent with children, curious though why you made that statement.

Do you think all children should be home schooled, then? Because I assure you that no school will allow the mom of every child in every class to spend every day at their child's side.

I like it when dd runs a little amok, so long as it's in an allowed space like the playground or our house or another space where it's permitted. I think some amokness is healthy.
