CNN showed some woman say "a woman's place is in the home" about Hillary

when she was asked about whether she would support Hillary. and then she said it's in the bible.

this was a very right wing area in Kentucky i think. not much enthusiasm for McCain but they aren't going to vote Hillary or Obama.

how do people still think this way. i know it's a small number overall but it's probably a majority in that area. i think a lot of the Republican Popular vote comes from people who think this way.

(i think this segment is coming up again on CNN within the hour with Anderson Cooper)

He says if people weren't so greedy and self serving, they wouldn't NEED the money the little woman makes and could easily support their family on the MAN'S income! GRRRRRRRRRRRR.........

...and her thousands of supporters/callers?

Dr. Laura tells women that their place is in the home and that working outside the home
when you have children is irresponsible and horrible.

There are many, many people in this country who feel that way--and not all of them live
in the backwoods of Kentucky.

I would say this attitude is present in nearly everywhere in this country.

As a stay-at-home mom--I meet lots of other moms. Some have this attitude, but most
do not. But it certainly isn't rare!

I really could write a book about the stay-at-home moms I've met. Most of them are
nuts. But then, so am I.

do they still feel the woman should stay at home even if she wanted to work outside ?

this woman on CNN seemed the type that doesn't just think women should stay home to care for kids but that woman should never work outside the home whether or not they have kids .

Just because their equipment popped 'em out, they're automatically assumed to be the parent who has to stay at home with them?

though that I went back to work when my son was only 3 months old because my husband was layed off from a Steel plant in Pgh. Pa. Unemploymenty wouldn't have paid the mortgage and provided survival for us. I respect everyone's right to decide how they want to live their life and raise their family, but I resent anyone who tells ME I can't do the same!

I'm a stay-at-home mom too and I've lived in the 'burbs of Chicago and now in small town Iowa. I've run into a scary number of the Dr. Laura robot women here in Iowa, many more than in Illinois.

They are generally good moms who want the best for their kids, but it comes wrapped in this smugness that is really hard to deal with. I know that lots of moms (probably most) have to work to put food on the table and pay for the necessities. I know that I'm very lucky to be able to stay home (but then, I'm also over 40 and most of the moms around here with kids as little as mine are in their 20's).

Women belong in the home and in the workplace and everywhere else. We are citizens of the world just like men are and people need to start to realize that.

Oh well, I seem to be rambling and I should probably get those kids I mentioned off to school...one hasn't gotten himself dressed yet.

Bettie

...and I find that woman's comment perverse.

A woman's place is anywhere she wants to be.

...except the men's restroom.

limits on where we can be. Just make sure we're straight up as our reputation is all we really have.

but they can't because of the right wing economy that has them working long hours for so little.

out in the workfield. I can't wait to retire:)

I was making a joke that a woman can be anywhere--except in the men's restroom.

We can't be in the men's restroom, can we?

I assumed men wouldn't like it if we strolled in there, just as women wouldn't like it
if a man walked into the woman's restroom.

Does that make sense?

art you freaking kidding me?

apologies, I was iffy about posting that in the first place.

It's stupid to wait in that long line when the stalls in the men's john are free. I'd have to be a pretty insecure jerk to worry about some woman spying my willie hanging over the urinal when nature's calling her. Go for it. Any port in a storm.


:dunce:

I'll go in if it's empty and somebody is outside to guard the door. I'm not particularly worried about what your willie looks like, rather what some wacko might do with it.

Stoning people to death is in the Bible.

Coitus interruptus is in the Bible.

Slaughter.

Wars.

Floods.

That doesn't mean everybody has to emulate those passages in their day-to-day lives. This woman invoking the "woman's place is in the home" model and trying to impose it on Hillary Clinton does Sen. Clinton a grievous disservice.

In that same Bible, Mary Magdalen, a woman, appeared to get out quite a bit. I would say she was by no means a stay-at-home mom or stay-at-home single woman -- etc. "Using ideas as my maps," Dylan says. And using maps as my ideas, Mary Magdalen might have said.

Hlllary Clinton ought to roll into that Kentucky woman's town and make her defend that statement. Hillary should say to her, "I know you aren't going to vote for me, but I'm just curious to see if you know what the hell you're talking about."

Thats what he saw happen in those states, they arent racist by choice they are racists by habit of the times, they move in a different time space culture.

All you have to do is drive into that areas small towns on any given sunday in the summer and you will literally be transported back to an oldtimey world where apples pies still cool on the windowsill and the corn queen is crowned.

You should really think before you lump all people from certain states or areas of the country together and label them. I was born in and lived in KY for 35 years and I still have a huge family there and not one of us is a racist (in fact, the vast majority are Democrats and quite liberal!). I've lived in California for 10 of my 45 years and I will tell you that I've heard more racist remarks made here in the Sacramento Valley than I ever heard in KY.

If she votes at all I would think it would be for McCain but it sounds like they expect low turnout there.

i didn't see the whole thing before. that makes it even worse. the poorest area in Kentucky voting Republican. just makes no sense. i'm sure the Republicans get people to go in and bring up the religious stuff so they will vote on that rather than their life situations.

:cry:

Let me see--very conservative area and this guy doesn't vote. Works for me! Puleeeze, Mister, do NOT vote!!!!!



The areas where turnout is an important issue are the ones where people vote for DEMS!


Laura

and we all have to pay the price for it. It's certainly not the kind of attitude that built this country and it's not one that will help us move forward.

Too many women subscribe to that type of thinking. Ann Coulter is another one who makes extreme statements like that, but notice she never shuts up and gets back in the home. You have to wonder where their head is when they make those types of statements.

Is she that former presidential candidate? Bless her heart.

Remember how competitive of a race it was?

That is fully fucked up.

:sarcasm:

say they are the breadwinners and held big rallies in football stadiums saying they should take care of their "women". It may bleed over into some Conservative Churches.....so perhaps this is coming out of Kentucky, too. Again, it is a "Conservative thing"...

that are voting for Hillary are voting so that she would be the candidate because they really want McCain due to the Conservativeness of the area. You see, if they vote for Hil now, then they won't have to vote for her since they think she is the weaker candidate against McCain in the end.

Hallelujah! That's it, that's why they are voting so non-mainstream at this point.

Later on, when we get a woman with more integrity than HRC, her place will also be in the White House.

a set of tribal laws written over 4000 to 2000 years ago as the guide to live in the year 2008..ok
