Asked by Mr. Stephanopoulos, “Where are these radical feminists?” Mr. Santorum had replied, “It comes from an elite culture, dictated, again, from academia, dictated, again, from the Hollywood culture and the news media, that says, ‘The only thing that’s affirming, the only thing that really counts is what you do at work.’ ”
He then added: “And that goes for men and women. And it’s wrong. It’s wrong to tell that to fathers. It’s wrong to tell that to mothers. And we need to value mothers and fathers spending time with their children much more than we do in America.”
"I look forward to receiving the government-funded stipend that will allow Dave and me to stay at home at least part-time with our child, Mr. Santorum. Can I provide you with my account and routing number so the money can be deposited directly at my bank? I could really use that time to rest and prepare for the arrival of the Bloomling.

Additional take away from the article: it’s okay for women to perform non-domestic tasks like, say, co-authoring their husbands’ books, but they shouldn’t expect to be credited until there becomes a need to deflect responsibility.
Fuck Rick Santorum.
