anyone else thinking she didn't get the white house job she was expecting and now needs excuses?

She actually has said something I agree with. It's in a "broken clock is right twice a day" sort of sense, though. Absolutely a woman should discuss it with her husband before taking a job in the White House -- but that's because ANYONE should discuss it with their spouse, regardless of gender, because it's gonna be a huge impact on their life together. And most people would probably not want their spouse working in the White House, if they have any inkling of what that sort of life is like.

But it is NOT because a woman is subservient, or because women are supposed to caring for the babies. It's because marriage comes with mutual respect -- or should, anyway. That's probably not a concept she's familiar with.

"Personally, we just want Kellyanne Conway to go the hell away"

That has nothing to do with being a feminist or not, and everything to do with being a decent human being or not.

The types that are insecure in their masculinity and fear their wives being better than them.

That shows up on my TwatterFeed just about every morning. It's a breath of fresh pH-balanced-peen.

Thank you. My grandmothers sewed shoes and canned fish and marketed potatoes. My aunties moved up in the world because they were office ladies in banks and insurance companies. What is this "women shouldn't work" crap, and why does anyone listen to to. Not to mention ol' KaC has been shirking her womanly duties for some time now.

Is she doth protestething too much caz Reince or whoever isn't offering her a job other than chaperoning ring kissers through the Trump Reichstag lobby?

Sadly, Kellyanne's place is back in the bag with the other snakes.

What year is it again?

Well, and because she's female and therefore disposable. That's the Trumpian way. And the walking embodiment of the concept that women are just pussies to be grabbed and disposed of at will won the election, so maybe it's not insane. Reprehensible, deplorable, and indefensible, but evidently it's popular enough.

Next time you go to a street fight, take Kellyanne to back you up.

Maybe, maybe not. Did you make the choice together for her to stay home in the first place.

Most of the women my age are retiring. We are having a 50 year high school reunion in a couple of years. Out of the females from my catholic school, two never worked outside the home. Both were married to men, from our class, who ended up as VPs of Fortune 100 companies.

Could it be that those men that she talked to realize that the stepford wife clone that they married would not be capable?

All right wing women see themselves as exceptions to their own rules.
