An Intemperate Thought

Perhaps it is an intemperate thought, but then, that's why I've created this space. Untethered thoughts belong here right along with my parenting. Here it is:

I'm so relieved that Sarah Palin has stepped down as governor. I don't support women assuming leadership roles in politics, especially in gubernatorial positions. I am enough of an anti-feminist to state outright: we leave these duties to men. I turn to Proverbs 31 on this point. It is a husband who is known in the gates, not the wife of high virtue. A woman's duties are so myriad, so engrossing, that it is fitting to leave the workings of the world to men. Allow them to have it, and allow women to have the fruit of their hands.
