He's tweeting at "Suburban Housewives". He actually used that description.

Yanno, I know conservatives complain about the radical liberal values that embrace same-gender marriages.

But I'm way, WAY more offended by a values system that allows marriage between a woman and a dwelling structure.

That is just WRONG.

disgustedly,
Bright

P.S. No woman of my acquaintance, no woman in my family, no woman I've even HEARD of, has ever married a house. Not one. Well, not legally, anyway.

2. When I hear suburban housewife I think of a woman with two part time jobs

And still has to take care of the house and kids. Living paycheck to paycheck.

When Pukes say suburban housewife they mean June Cleaver, Margaret Anderson or Donna Stone.

products sold with images of a 50's or 60's housewife. We have stay at home moms now, but they aren't the same and don't look the same.

He has no idea about the demographic trends that have taken place since then. He is an idiot.

Used by usually older men whose thinking hasn’t progressed past the ‘60s.

Does no one check if his socks are matching and such? I understand Melania is busy with the Rose Garden project but Ivanka is SO done with the beans....you'd think she would step up and offer the little guidance she is able to give.

Something about shopping for furniture...going home with her while the old man was at work? Or, maybe he passed on shopping for furniture.

Dang memory!
