I think attacking women who stay home with their kids and sacrafice their careers is just as wrong as the exploitation of women in the worforce or in the sex trades.
Using the Waltons as an example I just dont understand. By western standards, they were the ultimate nuclear family.
I actually would be proud to be compared to a family structure such as the Waltons.

...but it is never the Walton girls who have babies without father´s and depend on government handouts only to then raise children without morals, self asteem or work ethic.

I podcast several shows from MPR every week. This in an interesting broadcast from yesterday about women in the work place during the current economic downturn.

I have to admit that I am more of a traditionalist here. Children are better off when they have a parent at home. Since women give birth, it is only natural that it is the mother who stays home. I attribute many problems of western society to "daycare kids". I also understand that some families have no choice and need the money. That said, I completey respect that all women deserve the choice of whether to stay home or work.
I just saw recently that women in the US still only make $0.77 for every $1.00 a man makes for the same job.
So it is not just Turkey that women suffer professional inequity...

This is nonsense. Obama has already publically supported his support for Yerevan. I don´t expect his historical knowlege of the situation to be high so I can´t imiagine this will be a high priority in his administration.
This is a problem than can only be solved by Ankara and Yerevan.



Thread: Two Blasts In Istanbul

I don´t know why this area,but possible because it would not be considered as high of risk to foreign targets. Areas like Taksim, Beyoglu, Levent, Ortakoy, etc, are under hightened security this summer. This area of Old Istanbul near Bakırköy would not be considered a security target.
My other explanation is that the people that performed the attack may very well live in that area so they knew what risk they were taking. Their chances of getting caught in this area were perhaps statistically lower.
How horrible though. Thats all I can say...
