Belinduh thinks that the Conservative Party wants to force women to be 'pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen'.
First off, Conservative policies on women and the family are the exact opposite of forcing anyone into anything. Policies such as funding actual work in real communities rather than the paper-pushing Status of Women agency, income-splitting, the childcare allowance, and so on are actually all about giving women (and men) choices.
The Liberal party is the party of forcing women into paid work and their children into daycare. It's easy to be the until-recently blonde heiress making such pronouncements when you're not going to be affected by the policies you espouse. You're not ever going to be forced to look for a job outside the home because of an iniquitous tax system making it impossible to have a stay-at-home parent. You're not ever going to have to send your kids to slum it in a fluorescent-lit cavernous daycare institution, when you can afford a nanny.
That aside, when did 'pregnant' become such an insult? Why has nobody called the Liberals on this slight against women and children? I'm not sure that being in the 'kitchen' can be considered demeaning either. I'd like to see Belinduh tell that to a knife-wielding chef Gordon Ramsay, for example.

Last I checked, it took both of us for my wife and I have to have children.
No one ever forced my wife to stay home with our children and raise them; its what we both think is best for our children and has nothing to do with "women's rights" or their oppression.
This is the day care argument being thrown about all over again. We didn't have our children so that other people we don't know will raise them, just so that one of us could feel "fulfilled" in a career.
And it hasn't exactly been easier doing this on one income, but we make this sacrifice because we believe that one parent at home is best for our children. If your aren't willing to make these kind of sacrifices for your kids, quite simply, you shouldn't be having them.
This has NOTHING to do with forcing women to stay home. And if Belinda wants to fight for women's rights, then perhaps she should stop being such a hypocrite and not get involved with other women's husbands. Oh, but she is SUCH a strong woman? Give me a break. Stronach is just a brain dead idiot that is looking for a means to justify her political existence.
we call them on it all the time, the news won't play that angle
Oh man, you people are all, like... get married for life and do all this productive shit and put criminals in jail.
Why can't you be more fun, like the party of dope & sodomy?
I thought that Bwinda said she liked sex. She keeps up her games, she will be pregnant, but maybe even barefoot in the kitchen too.
See....dyeing your hair brown doesn't make you smarter.
