they aren;t ignorant and comfortable enough with the bigotry to siddle up and embrace it as a good thing.
"For every voter who sees Pretty Sarah as embodying traditional Family Values, there are four who wonder why a mother of five, including a special-needs infant, is more than willing to leave her children behind while she pursues not a 9-to-5 job, or even a demanding career, but a position that will mean all but abandoning the rearing of those children to someone else."
Judgemental sexist bullshit, is what it is, and NEVER a good thing. Advancing bigotry is an embarrassment, and so is this OP. This should not be part of the conversation in the 21st century. Sad that many here don't get it.
