[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most mature people would find them both classy. But for those that don’t, I think this pretty much describes their definition of “classy.” See: [b]Barbara Bush, Laura Bush, Jackie O[/b], etc. Even if they’re very active in their causes, they are “quiet” about it and don’t take the spotlight from their man.

[quote=Anonymous]She's 'classy' because she's a quiet, dutiful, timid Stepford wife. [/quote]

Those same people also look at Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Meghan Markle and think they’re overstepping their place. Hopefully viewpoints like that will eventually die out for the most part. [/quote]

I find this funny. They didn't take the 'spotlight' from their man because they couldn't. [b]NONE of them had any professional successes outside of their marriage.[/b] Or at least until their husbands died.

Jackie O was a homemaker until both of her husbands died.

[b]Laura Bush was a teacher and librarian until the day she said 'I do' - thirty years before he because president.

Barbara Bush was a homemaker the whole time.

HRC was a Yale-trained lawyer, Senator, and Secretary of State. Michelle Obama was a Harvard-trained lawyer, Chicago city official, and hospital executive director. Meghan Markle was a successful actress and humanitarian well before she met Harry. [/quote]

Who says being a teacher = no professional success? Sure, she wasn’t high-profile, and didn’t earn tons, but maybe she was a fantastic teacher and changed some lives. I’m sick and tired of people paying lip service to teachers, and then making offensive comments like this. One of my complaints about being a teacher was that people would assume I was dumb. Whoever I spoke to always claimed that of course they saw teachers as smart, but that hasn’t been my experience, as you just demonstrated.[/quote]

DP. I understand your frustration but I think what that is meant is that teaching doesn't come with professional [b][i]acclaim[/b][/i] mostly. Teaching is considered a "women's profession" even today, and is also perceived as one that is appropriate for women who are dutiful. [/quote]

I would have said Laura Bush has professional success as a teacher if she’d done it for any actual length of time. If she’d gotten recognition as the West Texas Teacher of the Year. If she’d made it a decade in the classroom. If she’d been elected to the school board.

She did none of those things. It was just something for her to do, get married at age 25, and quit.[/quote]
