SIDU #2 - Motherhood Bad?

Something I don't understand #2 - Why motherhood is not an acceptable choice for women

New York Times:Many Women at Elite Colleges Set Career Path to Motherhood

"Many women at the nation's most elite colleges say they have already decided that they will put aside their careers in favor of raising children."

.........

"What does concern me," said Peter Salovey, the dean of Yale College, "is that so few students seem to be able to think outside the box; so few students seem to be able to imagine a life for themselves that isn't constructed along traditional gender roles."


Proverbs 31:
10Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
....
30Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Is the problem with the highly intelligent women making a personal choice to stay home and raise their children or with the sociopolitical elitist assuming they know how everyone should live their lives? I say the problem is with those who believe they know best how you should live your life. Have they prayed and sought God's will for you, probably not since most of the time they are the same one's denying His very existence.

I believe it is the height of hypocricy for these educators et al to feel these women, who are capable of attending the most elite colleges in the country, are not able to think outside the box. Hypocrites! You are the one's unable to think outside the box of your own prejudices.



Matthew 23:27-28
27
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

2 Timothy 3:7
7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
