Stay-at-home moms called Nazis

Feminists in Germany say a celebrity author who advocates that women stay at home to raise families is evoking memories of World War II Nazis.

Former television news host Eva Herman, 47, wrote a book filled with letters from women who now wish they had chosen to raise their own families instead of working. Herman also says mothers should be paid $22,000 to $27,500 as "family managers," a Times of London correspondent reported from Berlin.

However, Alice Schwarzer, a feminist campaigner and magazine editor evoked memories of the Nazi era, when women who had more than three children were awarded a medal called the Mother's Cross.

In response, Herman filled in more of the history of wartime motherhood.

"During (that) era mothers were separated from their children. It is absurd to make that link," she said.


Exactly. Idiots.
