Hellobee Boards

Lol yeah thats pretty sick! I ampretty sure once LO is college age she can make her own choices. I will onviously strongly encourage it!

The only point I agree with (somewhat) is #4, about recouping the cost. I don't see the point of going to a super expensive school to earn a degree in a career that has low earnings potential.

I read half the first "common objection" after skimming the piece & all I can say is ummmmmm this is one of the things that is wrong with Christianity today... who could really have an outlook like this & not be embarrassed to share it?! UGH!

What happens if something happens to my husband after I didn't get a degree that would be for "a career not an education"?! blegh!

I'm a pretty big follower of Christ (submissive wife here) & I don't think there's a single thing I agreed with in this piece. O_o *shudders*

That article is crazy.

This article makes me sad for their children. It is one thing to bring your children up in your faith and then let them be free to choose to follow that faith or not as they reach adulthood-- but not allowing them the opportunity to leave the nest seems like they are trapping the women into this lifestyle that they are probably not mature enough to understand (or at least, not mature enough to understand it's not the only valid way to live). The whole article just reeked of desperation to me. They don't want their daughters to go to college and to realize that there is a whole wide world out there and they don't HAVE to be submissive SAHMs of they don't want to. They have a choice. It is not preordained.

@loveisstrange: Your avatar is very fortuitous for that comment. I feel like the cupcake is about to attack the author haha

Oh my goodness... I definitely got a kick out it! That is quite ridiculous - one of the more extreme opinions I've seen in a LONG time!

#1 She will attract the wrong types of men: Yeah, definitely not. I found the best kind of husband at college! He liked me because he could tell that I was going to be a great partner to him, not because he wanted to be lazy and live off my career?!

#3 She will not learn to be a wife and mother: Well, yeah that's true, but that's the job of her parents! By NOT going to college, is she going to learn to be a wife or mother any better??!

#6 It could be a near occasion of sin for the parents: I just can't even begin to comment on this one...

I'm pretty religious, and this was just too much!

@Mae: Hahaha. Maybe a zombie cupcake lobotomy is what this guy needs.

Whaaa?

People still think like this?

sexist pig. so stupid.

This isn't even real Christian teachings! This is just the thoughts of a guy who thinks he knows what he's talking about! I don't agree with anything in this article, and I value being a Christian wife. Shame on him for being so awful towards women!

I found it quite ironic that he has chosen to quote a female professional. Who, had to go to college to become a doctor.

@Dandelion: agreed. I am a Christian (albeit not catholic) and don't agree with this at all either. Even my parents who are more conservative than I were in full support of a college education for us!

I do know people who practice though; girls wait at home with their parents until a young man comes a-courting.

You guyyyyys, don't you know that letting wemen have an edumacation is the downfall of our society?!?!

Absolutely disgusting.

I don't have time to say what I want so I'll just say blegh.

I don't know I I completely disagree with him; that's all I will say.

@yoursilverlining: not even reading.
I don't have time for this is*!!
Come on, people...world is a'turnin'...it's 2013.

This guy talks like he's SO right on with his religion, but he doesn't even quote one Bible verse to back himself up!

What the crap?

@Mrs. Jacks: I have been reading Missy's blog, since being shown the original awful post. She's terrible! I hope they only have sons!

And, off topic a bit, but I hate bad pictures of Mother Mary. The ones she shows are white, Angelican images of her and the Baby Jesus and for some reason it always irks me that people do that. Why can't they have a picture of how they would really look, with dark skin, dark hair, etc? It drives me crazy.

Wow, Missy is a wuss.

Guys, the pill is an abuse on women, okay?! This site is nutso.
