Today, I have a guest post on the real reason that a stay at home mum apparently doesn’t contribute to economic growth. It’s a cracker of a piece by the awesome Rebecca Bowyer who blogs at The Lighter Side of Parenting and maintains History of Parenting– which is a great place to spend some time and find out all about how previous generations raised their kids. Anyway, over to Bec!
Last week, I read that a young woman from Albury, NSW, was alleged to have been attacked and sexually assaulted at knife point by three men. Shortly after that, I read that the mayor of Albury, Cr Kevin Mack, had some remarks to make about this situation.
If you’re a first time visitor, consider yourself fairly warned: I’m a feminist. A big one.
Did you hear that recently, a Catholic priest spoke to his congregation in Melbourne and made particular reference to the murder of Jill Meagher?
This priest said that Ms Meagher was not “faith-filled” enough and had she been, she would have been at home in her bed, not walking down Sydney Road at 3 am. Apparently, Catholic people don’t have nights out. Or have the ability to see the future and avoid trouble. Or something.
