[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All you people scrabbling about desperately for links one way or the other don't realize how weak your posts make your "side" look. This issue has been studied for 70+ years, often by researchers with strong biases in favor of one thing or another. If there was conclusive proof one way or another that SAH or WOH was the proven formula guaranteed to produce the best outcome, we would know it conclusively, and by a wide margin, by now. There's no such conclusive because at the end of the day, SAH or WOH is largely irrelevant to outcome.

I've read a lot of the actual studies in this space (not, I will point out, breathy pop articles that distort the actual academic work). And at the end of the day, SAH or WOH is not a big factor in outcome. It just isn't. People who cherry pick studies or badly written press coverage to prove their side is best (and both SAHMs and WOHMs have done that in this thread) look, well, stupid and desperate.

Stop being idiots, all of you. [/quote]

Well if YOU say so, it must be true, unlike those badly written articles in the NYTimes. You are clearly an expert, everyone else is an idiot.[/quote]

Yes, the NYT never publishes sensational articles for the purpose of selling news. They are JUST LIKE a peer-reviewed publication and their readers and reporters all have PhD level statistics understanding.  :roll:

Look, if you are relying on NYT articles to do society-wide analysis for your side, you've already lost the argument. Just give up.[/quote]
