How about this:
If anyone had the balls to do the comparison, CHILDREN raised in a household with a stay-at-home mother fare much better in school and in life than children raised in two-income households.
And if this is true (it is), then public policy should FAVOR the mother staying at home, rather than pushing initiatives like paid family leave and prohibiting employers from taking into consideration the very real costs of hiring a mother, as contrasted with a man with similar credentials.
This is just another case of someone saying what everyone should know, and "we" all stand around clutching our pearls as though what he says is shocking.
And honestly, this country would be much, much, much better off if wimmin did not get to vote.
