re: #463 Lidane

Davis furthered her education rather than stay home with the kids. Their father got custody in the divorce because he could offer a more stable home life since she was busy with school and getting herself established. She was fine with that and even willingly paid child support and kept to the terms of the custody arrangement. So naturally, that makes her a bad mother.

HOWEVER, if she’d just stayed a single mom and had never gone to college and never done anything except wait tables, she’d be a moocher leeching off the system that doesn’t understand the value of education and hard work.

The GOP, as usual, are completely fucked up when it comes to women.

What they won’t say aloud is that she was wrong (in their minds) for seeking an education in the first place, that once kids are in the household, a woman is supposed to abandon all ideas of seeking out education or employment and devotes themselves entirely to those kids. That a “good mother” would have made the marriage work “for the children,” giving up foolish ideas of making something of herself.
