During the republican debate this week, Michelle Bachmann was asked the following:
Her answer, in part:
This question has raised a firestorm over whether it was fair or appropriate. It came about from this comment she made where she said that she finished her degree because her husband told her so and women are supposed to be submissive to their husbands(can't find quote at the moment, if any one else can, will edit it in and give credit).
So, we the question fair? Was it appropriate? Was it sexist? You can choose more than one.
Given that she expressed the opinion that women should be submissive to their husbands, yes, it's a totally appropriate question. Moreover, it was not answered. Were Bachman to be elected president, just who would hold the reins of power?
Given her answer, I'm still not sure, are you?
