[quote=Anonymous]Discussions like this are good for moving the needle, but I always have concern when it’s at the expense of others who are quite happy and shouldn’t be judged for having different views around the meaningfulness and purpose.

We aren’t resisting your right to nonconformity - but why must you try to shame our conformity?

What about the gender roles that ENJOY and THRIVE in the “stereotypes”? Martha Stewart thrives in her purpose as a sterwotypical woman. So did Emily Post. Why should we be attacked for liking girly things, and tradition?

It’s fine if you want all of your daughters being required to register for a draft, to fight in combat, propose and break through glass ceilings. It’s beautiful. Thank you for your boldness and kick ass approach to creating new paths for a new emerging generation. It is a new norm that is worthy of support and respect.

Just don’t make this progress at the expense of other daughters who DONT want to fight in combat, propose, or fight injustice. Some of us like making cupcakes for your nanny to pick up from the bakery. Please support and respect us too.

You can have and respect both differences, in traditional vs non traditional roles, for TRUE equality. Changing the status quo doesn’t mean you attach a stigma to women that still like it. And there are many of us that do! [/quote]
