"Rules On Wifes Role Bend Only For Him" - Another RL Hypocrite

[REP]

Remember that article a few weeks ago about working women and "deliberate childlessness" moron a few weeks ago? Turns out that only applies to other people:

...

The attack on couples who choose not to have children was a flash point for a lot of women, and for good reason. They intuited what the story did not report: Christensen's real target is women.



Christensen writes regularly for the Howard Center for Family, Religion and Society, a conservative organization whose chief grievance is that women have abandoned their biblically mandated roles as homemakers for the work force. And blaming career women for the lack of "completed gestation" in their marriages is only the beginning of Christensen's rant.

...

In Christensen's view, working women aren't even very nice because their focus on jobs and careers has extinguished women's "traditionally feminine" virtues of "care and sensitivity."


If only Christensen were living the life he preaches. But like so many hellbent on bending others to their version of hell, his rules worked until they didn't.



So he changed them. Just this once.



His wife, it turns out, works outside the home.

...

What changed, said his wife, was that they needed more money.

...

As she spoke, at first, she parroted her husband.

...

"Did I want to go back to work? Yes. Yes I did." She talked about why.

1. Actually, women going to work isn't new

Women have been teachers, like this woman, for well over 100 years, and married women have been able to teach for nearly as long. The poorer classes have always had women who worked outside the home as well.

I will listen with respect to a person's opinion if they walk their talk. I've known folks who took a real economic hit by deciding that one stayed home to look after kids, and I admire them for living up to their values. This bozo doesn't deserve to be read, imho. Like the article said, he's really anti-woman.

2. Yes. I Am Aware of That

See article first published 11/21:

"Protection of marriage" is now the watchword for many activists fighting to prevent gays and lesbians from marrying. Some conservatives, however, say marriage in America began unraveling long before the latest gay-rights push and are pleading for a fresh, soul-searching look at the institution.

"When you talk about protecting marriage, you need to talk about divorce," said Bryce Christensen, a Southern Utah University professor who writes frequently about family issues.

While Christensen doesn't oppose the campaign to enact state and federal bans on gay marriage, he worries it's distracting from immediate threats to marriage's place in society.

"If those initiatives are part of a broader effort to reaffirm lifetime fidelity in marriage, they're worthwhile," he said. "If they're isolated - if we don't address cohabitation and casual divorce and deliberate childlessness - then I think they're futile and will be brushed aside."

4. But Isn't It Nice To See Some Follow-Up?

That story was talked about a lot here when it came out. Usually, the "do as I say, not as I do" aspects of the holyroller brigrade go unreported, but this one really pissed a lot of people off. I know - I'm one of the 44% of US women between the ages of 15 and 45 who don't have children, and I was plenty pissed.

And it's Child-Free, not "deliberate childlessness;" women like me don't consider ourselves to be less of anything.

6. Women have worked for ever just usually at home.

We used to live in a way where women and children had to do the work or a family could not run. Since this stuff was done by one person at a time it was done at home usually. What is wrong with this man? He should go back in history and see how the labor of women and children was used. Mothers did not always care for their children, other children did at times and children in some societies were sent to be cared for by people out side home for years, before they were brought back into home. Then to be farmed out as workers for other people and the family took the money.This guy is thinking of some small group of rich people in some golden age that is not very real in history.More in books than what we really were. I am so sick of this so called golden age that was never here in the first place.

8. It takes two incomes now a days for a household. If he truly wants more

women to stay at home he should look at WHY households need two incomes, now. He should look at WHY salaries and wages are as low as they are and then he should do something about THAT (but I'll bet he'll lose all his funding if he starts telling the truth against the powers as he would be required to do).
