Attacks on Wendy Davis’ life story follow classic sexist archetype http://t.co/C0jah7nE0S

“She abandoned her children in order to pursue a career.” Because Jeff Davis took care of their daughters while Wendy went to law school, therefore flipping traditional gender roles in childcare, right-wing pundits are now calling her a bad mother who “apparently abandoned her children.”

My daughter put herself through Columbia, earned a Master’s degree in nursing and now has a practice in Flatbush. Her husband stays home and takes care of the kids. Does that make her a bad mother?

She really wanted to go to medical school but couldn’t afford it.
