"Are people forgetting that she has a husband?" Stiles asked. "I would think people would be applauding the fact that such a reversal of traditional gender roles is possible."
Is her husband going to become a house husband? That would change things a bit. But I haven't heard that he's going to stop working and stay home and take care of the baby and the pregnant teenager.

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."

He is far too "manly" for such things. After all, he is a commercial fisherman too.

Obviously some people clealy have to much time on their hands to waste time considering whether she can or can't based on her home life.

That's a great point.

How come the media never applaud men like Obama for juggling career and family life??

As usual the girlies get preferential treatment!
