[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get some people are all about the woman staying demure and a man leading the family.  Some women enjoy being housewife and that is good for them.  No prob with any of this kind of thinking.

[b]BUT what he said totally demeans women.  He said his wife’s life did not start or meant nothing until she started being a wife and mother.[/b]  As a woman I take great offense with this statement.  I take great offense at the way he expressed what he feels women should be.  It’s one thing to suggest someone can live one way, it’s another to suggest there is only one way to live that’s right.

I think he is such a blatantly offensive man whose mom has to be losing her mind!!

WTf? In 20 min he managed to offend most people.  It’s not about his views, it’s about how he expressed them.  [/quote]

This.
I’ve got two strikes according to this guy, since I am a working mom who needed IVF to get pregnant (due to a diagnosed medical condition, not my age).  My children mean more to me than anything else in this world.  But to imply that my life had no meaning or substance until I had children isn’t just demeaning.  It’s a form of erasure, saying those years didn’t matter.
It is gross, and no way would he say the same thing to men.[/quote]
