[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to work and be a mom. My brains will melt at home w/t a job. Yes, school hours are challenging but manageable — one parent drops off, the other picks up. Let people vent and complain! Once they go on vacation that they can afford due to dual income, and provide kids with extra curriculars that they can afford in this area due to dual income, they will feel better and choose work over staying at home again and again.

No, not everyone would make the same choices you make. The point is to have the choice and not be told you have to stay at home or you have to work. Not by a man and not by another woman.

DCUM is definitely going backward if we are fighting the mommy wars again.

The anti-feminists would very much love it if women didn’t have a choice. When they criticize “feminism” what do you think that means, exactly? The legal protections women won to give them choice: job protections so they couldn’t be fired for being a woman or being pregnant; equal educational and sports opportunities; the ability have a credit card and take out a mortgage; and probably most importantly the ability to control their reproduction (birth control is still legal and not going anywhere).
