“People here REALLY need to start ignoring QON because the chick clearly has some issues with women (particularly black women) in general.”

@Toppin

Seriously, I thought at this point, that ignoring Jester of New Castle was a given. How many times are people going to fall for its tired bait and switch derailing tactics and ficticious research that it always swears by but never produces so it can be vetted?

Oh really? I would’ve never known . . .

“I (seventeen) am an idiot, homophobe, and I don’t even have the where with all to be discreet about my ignorance in public.”

There, fixed.

Great article and points, I really enjoyed reading the varying points in the comment section. I was raised to work (not sure if feminism is to blame here), and regardless of that fact I personally have enjoyed my independence and the importance of more than one income. With the questioning of whether women should work or not, I don’t see what’s hard to understand. Times are hard today and two incomes are better than one. The push for women to work obviously came from somewhere, and adding race to the picture tells a different story, but I don’t think it solely came from feminism. Ugh. I probably have so much more to say about this, but I don’t feel like typing a lot. Great discussion though.

@Anonymous – When I saw that post I almost fell out of my seat! Considering she has had so many hateful things to say in the past about black women. She won’t have any black female friends if she talks to them the way she talks about black women on here. Honestly I think she is reigning it in since they are going to start approving all comments before they are posted.

QofNewcastle:

Oi. Please re-read that sentence. It seems clear Nicky is using “personal time” to refer to the quality time spent WITH her children NOT away from them, and is implying that work would take away from that…

“i often wonder about how much personal time i will have to sacrifice with my future children in order to provide the financially stable life i feel they should receive” = personal time with children vs. working to secure them financially.
