@DoesntExist You can tell this was written in part by the sub-literate Jonah Goldberg, huh?

Would we really be surprised? It's pretty clear a lot of these folk's trees don't fork.

@Michael Gemar @Charlie Stross He did not bang a porn star, he said so in a debate. A very normal thing to say in a presidential debate.

I look forward to seeing how that works out given average house costs etc usually means needing two incomes....

yep, that’s basically what it’s getting out without stating it quite so outright.

I don't see that claim on p. 451 at all. Am I missing something?

@darwinwoodka

@mpjgregoire @darwinwoodka My copy downloaded July 5 has the same content on page 451 as the PDF on the site now. It's plenty offensive without making up statements that extrapolate beyond what they actually say. Let's stick to honest criticism, shall we?

@cstross How regressive.

@cstross how interesting that a relationship that conservatives allege is the natural way of life for every human being also needs so many legal privileges to prop it up :)

a stay at home mother, who can be raped by her husband, not own property of her own, or leave the marriage or get custody of the children.
in reply to anubis2814

they fail to mention that no family can make it on one income

rents for a 1 bedroom apartment in my city are starting at $1,100 and a 2 bedroom house starts at $2,100
