It’s insulting to act as though the role of caring for a family is less valuable than a paid profession. I respect other women’s right to choose to work for pay, but am appalled at the number of people (men and women) who don’t respect my right to place the care of my family and shaping of the future (as a mother) above the money I could make as a career woman or the accolades I would receive in a professional environment. [and before some of you even think it, not every woman who works “has to”… many could choose to sacrifice some material things to be home with their kids if they really wanted to] This seems to be a common “liberal” thought pattern… ‘you are free to choose… as long as you choose what I think you should choose.’
Women 1st had the right to vote in the Utah Territory… and it was no less “conservative” then. Claiming all progress to be the domain of “liberals” doesn’t make it true.
