When DH and I met, he was working on a print journalism degree. Journalists often get paid worse than teachers when they're starting out, so we always knew I would be the higher earner (once I get a job). When DH comes home tonight I'll have to tell him that I have to give up the job search because, according to Phyllis Schlafly, he would no longer be a suitable mate if I found one.
I got into a Facebook argument this weekend with a girl who posted an article promoting "the new chivalry". In my mind, bullshit like this comes from the same place in terms of how women are viewed. Suffice it to say no one else really agreed with me.
The scary thing to me is that the GOP has been successful in swaying large portions of the electorate by flat-out lying before (just repeating the lie over and over until people believe it), so why not do the exact same here?
Although the argument about women wanting to make less so we can get married is cute.
