I find that college is a good thing for women. I know a lot of mothers who have gone to college after their husbands have died and were left with very little to go on. however if a mother has her degree in anything it is a very useful tool for homeschooling your children or getting a job to support the family you now have to be the bread winner for.

This is absurd. A degree does not play any real role in homeschooling. Even if the woman suddenly had to get a job, she could do what most Traditional Catholic men do anyway and go into self-employment, something that does not require a degree.

Self-employment isn't always easy - it takes money to make money, unless you are most clever in the world of business. Again, one mold does not fit every woman or man.

It may not be for every man, but it's one sure way to avoid ocassion of sin. It doesn't bring in a tremendous amount of money, sure. But Trad families are willing to be more poor than rich.

I, personally, plan to go into self-employment.

He didn't give us "free will" to do evil?

He gave us free will to freely choose good, not to do objectively evil things without other people interfering.

Quote

it is not intrinsically evil there is no law of man or God saying women are forbidden to serve their country.

It is intrinsically evil for women to be "soldiers" - it's not about serving the country. The roles between men and women in the military have been hopelessly blurred. It's entering an occasion of sin, for an illegitimate purpose, to be a female "soldier."

The military culture is godless and corrupt. But it's full of strapping young men. What kind of parent could tolerate their sheltered daughter going into such a miserable situation?

Only a parent who really doesn't have Catholic values.

how does a degree in math not help in the education of children? a degree in english? a degree in history? chemistry? science? biology? physics? etc,etc....

BTW: I am NO FEMINIST!!!

Remember the no-women-should-ever-go-to-college concept the next time one of you needs a major operation and the best educated and trained man for the job happens to be a woman. With children. Home schooled by Dad.

There are good women who remain single and chaste in order to serve God and society as well. Not one-size fits all.
