A backhanded insult is.. well just an insult DUH

On the Ironic side of things, my exwife who owns half her dad's business WANTED to be a stay-at-home mother, sadly biological and economic realities had other ideas...

but it seems like if we HAD the chance for her to stay at home she would have been attacked by the current wave of frothing at the mouth feminists (not to be confused with the 99% or 'normal' feminists)

People... CHOICE means being able to CHOOSE something YOU don't like, but the CHOOSER does. that's the beauty of the system. That's the wonderful part of freedom. not all choices are universally liked, but that's free choice.
