“I think it is on target! MO is exactly a stepford wife! perfect comparison.”

On the basis of what exactly, Tipper, may I ask? Care to elaborate?

I am now completely convinced that Ms. Erbe and her ilk are not going to make it through President Obama’s tenure without losing what appears to be the little that is left of their minds!

This lady doesn’t seem to get that making ever more inane comments, and constantly reminding us that she disapproves of the First Lady’s life choices doesn’t make her any more credible or right than the last time she was spouting similar foolishness….

Why would you all give pumas a bad name? They are beautiful, graceful creatures; they never attack first except to eat, and they mind their own business; there are male and female pumas—literally and figuratively—but there I went, using these beautiful animals as a metaphor for meaness, unhappiness, cowardice and other energies and behaviors that pumas–the ones in the wild– probably, do not do in order to make a living.

Dear Bonnie,

I get the impression that you are uncomfortable with Barack Obama being POTUS and Michelle Obama being FLOTUS. I also get the impression that you need to seek professional help for the condition known as being a PUMA. Get over it! Oh, and your whiteness is showing. A good many black women would love to be happy housewives since damn near all of us have been working very hard since slavery.

I don’t get that about the Obamas at all. They seem like a normal family and the President and First Lady seem to really get along and love each other. When President Obama makes speeches in the Middle East, he always mentions how important equal rights for women are and one of the first things he did as President was sign the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

I wonder what’s motivating Bonnie Erbe? Why does she feel the need to say things that aren’t true? How does it benefit her?

Regarding some comments here on the Stepford Wives, I saw that movie and it wasn’t about staying home and taking care of the kids. It was about losing your “self” and becoming an empty shell that only serves a master. To me Stepford wives is about slavery, it’s about husbands who want a women who will serve their every desire, no reciprocation. Like the serial killer Leonard Lake who said he wanted a woman he could take off the shelf, have sex with, and put back on the shelf when done.

I know stay-at-home moms who are intelligent, independent thinkers who could never be considered a Stepford wife, but they could be considered feminists because they believe in equal relationships.

you nailed it. she is absolutely ridiculous. my eyes were about to explode at the mere thought of Barack Obama and JESSE HELMS being in the same sentence, and then she had to ‘ go there’ and insult the First Lady.

Bonnie,
Stop the racism and be a women champion for all women and not White women only. Ok! Let’s stop sugar-coating BS and call it for it for what it is.
