We're not talking about paint color, we're talking about being able to make life decisions such as work and family status. American women no longer have to be economically dependent on their parents or their husbands, thank God. Why wouldn't you want to be able to choose a career that you find rewarding and satisfying?[/quote]

There are probably still people who don't think women should be able to make such choices, but I think they're probably in the minority. And I certainly don't think the option to make such choices is a problem - it's a good thing. I think what causes more problems is the slightly different belief that women *should* choose a job instead of running the home and raising the children -- that, by not entering or remaining in the workforce, they are somehow lesser women.

And, for what it's worth, men should be able to choose the same thing. But it's not as realistic an option for men because not as many women are willing to be the sole provider with the dad staying at home as women are willing to be the sole provider with the mom staying at home. Stay at home dads are generally held in lesser regard than stay at home moms. [/quote]

+1 nobody is against women having those choices. However extreme feminism such as the PP demeaning everyone that has even a slightly different opinion from her has colored gender relations and family dynamics between men and women.[/quote]
