But it's patently untrue that 'our world has gone downhill' (What does this even mean? There is less violence now and more hope for freedom and equality than ever.). <br /><br />Women having careers doesn't mean that their families take second place. The same is true for fathers with careers...you don't expect their families automatically to take the backseat to the father's career, right? I hope not! Women are capable of performing the same balancing act between their families and careers that fathers have always had the leeway to. <br /><br />Women in 50% leadership roles inside and outside of the home is crucial to the health of the world. Studies have shown that the children of educated and careered single mothers by choice, are better off by several measures than the children of the average heterosexual married couple. <br /><br />Believe in yourself and in other women! We are quite capable of caring for ourselves and our families with or without partners, and with or without careers.

No more mention of their faith or religious discussions. Whose choice is that?

Not all women should stay home. Some have talents in certain areas and should absolutely be well educated and contribute to society. Think about what you are saying. If all women stayed home and only took care of house and children, then we'd have no women nurses, doctors, teachers, attorneys, congresswomen, astronauts, social workers, etc. That's ridiculous - we all benefit from women in these roles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-53433600388876726832016-09-21T15:28:57.205-05:002016-09-21T15:28:57.205-05:00"Since women have started putting career befo..."Since women have started putting career before family, our world has gone downhill." I find that statement very offensive. My grandmother was widowed at age 35 and had to work to support her children. Some women have no choice about working. You make it sound as if working women have purposely turned their backs on their families and that's the reason the world has gone to pot. Far from it!!!!

It doesn't matter if they're famous or not. Second guessing someone else all the time is a way of making us feel better about ourselves at the expense of someone else.

What about being a father? Or just a (gender-neutral) parent? Your statement completely ignores the fact that women are the ones who are expected to lean out of all arenas -- political, religious, economic, anything that involves power or leadership -- in order to change diapers. This absence of women in leadership roles is why the world is in the poor shape it is in. Look around...men being in charge for the last 4,000 years has not done anyone any favors. I'd much rather see the Duggar women meeting for lunch during the workweek, too.
