'WE MUST DO BETTER BY OUR DAUGHTERS': Georgian mother responds to how Anna Duggar handled husband, Josh Duggar's latest scandals

Mother calls out to parents to teach their daughters about life.

Leaked information from the extramarital affairs website Ashley Madison put a spotlight on thousands of men who sought partners outside their marriages, celebrities included. Alarmed at the outdated view of a woman's roles in society, Jessica Krammes Kirkland posted a response to former reality star Josh Duggar's admission to subscribing to the site and cheating on his wife Anna. Her post has since gone viral, asking parents not to fail their daughters.
 

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - "Anna Duggar is in the worst position she could possibly be in right now. Anna Duggar was crippled by her parents by receiving no education, having no work experience (or life experience, for that matter) and then was shackled to this loser because his family was famous in their religious circle. Anna Duggar was taught that her sole purpose in life, the most meaningful thing she could do, was to be chaste and proper, a devout wife, and a mother. Anna Duggar did that!" Kirkland wrote on Facebook, which has been shared over 245,000 times.


Kirkland notes that Anna was raised the way most men deem acceptable and she was betrothed to whom her parents thought was a good man. When it was released that he became unfaithful to her -and molested his sisters- Anna was forced to discover his shameful deeds in the "most humiliating way possible."

Kirkland also mentions that due to her specific religious upbringing, Anna cannot choose to divorce Josh, despite the widespread belief that adultery is perceived as grounds for the dissolution of a marriage.

Kirkland called on other parents not to make the same mistakes with their daughters. She encourages them to teach young women that they are equal to men in society.

"Parents, WE MUST DO BETTER BY OUR DAUGHTERS," she wrote, earning several thousand responses from parents claiming they will raise their girls to "breathe fire."
