Women should get married, spout babies and not have any career prospects... according to Garth George

Another one.

Disgusting... laughable... disgusting again... then just plain sad.

  • "One of the saddest things I've read in this newspaper of late are the results of a survey which record that getting a pay rise or a compliment at work is more important to many young women than getting married or having children." Why is that sad? So not all women want to have babies... is that a problem?
  • "Just to show how really upside-down our society has become, the Colmar-Brunton poll of nearly 500 folk in their 20s showed that while females are busy focusing on their careers, it seems the young men they work alongside are dreaming about becoming fathers." Maybe when male society worldwide reaslises they can't have babies without women wanting to, they will start treating us more nicely.
  • "...rather that [women] wanted to try to have it all. Aye, and there's the rub, because we cannot deny the absolute truth of the old adage that "you can't have your cake and eat it, too" or, more simply, "you can't have it both ways". There are thousands of women in NZ and millions across the world who are proving you wrong right now.
  • "We spend, for instance, millions on what is euphemistically called early childhood education, which is really nothing more than glorified babysitting, millions more on the domestic purposes benefit and millions more on providing maternity leave." So what you're saying is: "How dare you have any career prospects or aims?! Stay at home and feed the baby, woman!" 
  • "The human cost is even more tragic... we spend tens of millions on abortions, many of which are done simply because having a baby is inconvenient." Don't even get me STARTED on this comment. There are plenty enough babies in the world, and news stories have shown NZ definitely doesn't need any more unwanted and unloved babies. And 'human cost'? Get over yourself.

    Hurumph. Men.
