Panel Led By NV GOP Chair Questions Women's Role In Workforce

[RandySF]

n a panel led by Nevada GOP Chairman Tom Taber, conservative publisher Len Semas questioned the role of women in the workplace, according to Ralston Reports.

Semas said that he felt that women leaving the role of nurturer may have attributed to societal problems like attention deficit disorder.

"The reality is there is a special role that women take on, biologically, as the bearers of children and the nurturers of children," Semas said Thursday morning, as quoted by Ralston. "I don't know that we haven't created problems in society by ignoring that important role. ADD and various learning disabilities, hyperactive kids, kids building bombs in their garage."

Semas argued that women have left the home in the past few decades at about the same time that some of these issues started cropping up.

1. Translation:

"Dammit! They were the last slaves we had left! They can't do this to us!"

Don't kid yourselves, this is what those fuckers are all about, restoring the patriarchy that has always considered women and children to be property, nothing more.

2. If he's so concerned, perhaps he should do something about wages.

Many people want to work, but some people HAVE to work. In dual income households (at least), if one income could support a family, at least one parent would have the option to stay home.

3. And yet.....

taking fathers (men) out of the home for 50-60 hours a week at crap pay scales has been such a good thing.

I piss on the 'family values' crowd. Fuck em'. You want to talk family values, talk good paying jobs that don't work people to death and allow them time with their families, men and women.
