Oh, God. Now I want to track down Michael Noer and beat him to death with the dildo his wife must surely use to cheer herself up while he's hammering out sexist bullshit like that article. Oh, wait, that implies that someone would marry him. Doucheturkey.
The first point-for-point comment you linked to was good, but there's a more nuanced and rather well-written one further down as well. The only thing that all the heavy "Marry a career gal! She'll make you happy!" rebuttal makes me cautious about is the implied "Because a full-time housewife is just a drag!" notion. Of course anyone with a brain will pick a woman who's a good person and who fits well into his life (and he into hers) no matter what she does or doesn't do; but I'd like to point out that there's equally nothing wrong with being a full-time homemaker. Just to balance.
I'm sending these links to my mom. She'll have a cow laughing. After I finishe imagining Michael Noer sulking at the smackdown he received and consoling himself by beating off to Bill O'Reilly.
