That was my point: There is NO "right kind" of First Lady, not in the sense that, if she were the
"right kind," she wouldn't get shredded by the press.
There is absolutely no point in First Ladies and prospective First Ladies trying to comport
themselves in accordance with expectations; whether they are traditional full-time wives, career
women, or socially-responsible society women, they WILL get shredded for not being like that nice,
proper, former First Lady, who made one of the other choices, and got shredded in her time.
And, actually, when Geraldine Ferraro was running for VP, her husband got worked over, too.

What's the right kind of First Lady? Bess Eisenhower? Today's woman
doesn't stay home and not do anything. Of course, if the candidate would be
a woman, would anyone question what their mate did? Unless he was a "bread
winner" they wouldn't say a word.

No one. It's just traditional to work over the First Ladies and prospective
First Ladies as if we
cared.
If we really cared, traditional full-time wives & mothers, independent
career women, and women who
used a privileged background to be active in social causes they care about
wouldn't find themselves
being ripped to shreds by all the same critics.
All the very different women who have been First Ladies or prospective First
Ladies in my lifetime
have been ripped to shreds for being the wrong kind of First Lady.

Who cares what Teresa Heinz Kerry and Laura Bush think?
