Are we going back to any particular year when America was GREAT?
“'I do politely mention to them the question isn’t would you take the job, the male sitting across from me who’s going to take a big job in the White House. The question is would you want your wife to,' Conway said, describing conversations she’s had with male colleagues. 'Would you want the mother of children to? You really see their entire visage change. It’s like, oh, no, they wouldn’t want their wife to take that job.'”

JUST CURIOUS.
Because it's different from what she was saying month ago...
"It’s like, ‘Oh, no, they wouldn’t want their wife to take that job.’ But it’s, it’s all good.”
It’s not all good, Kellyanne!
They could have said: 'Kellyanne, if my wife had the opportunity to work in a powerful position in the White House, I’d scale back my career for a few years and support her and take on more of the burden at home. Maybe your husband can do that.'"
"Or, maybe they could say, 'Kellyanne, you’ve been a key member of the team. We will make sure you get the flexibility to make this work.'
Instead, their apparently uniform reaction makes it clear that in Trumpland, the burden of parenting always falls on the mother. She will always be the one to pull back at work. The idea that a mother could perhaps share parenting responsibilities with a partner or, god forbid, look to social policy for support is not on the table.
There is only one table. Men sit at it. The end."
