[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this the new replacement for the mommy wars? Now we can talk about how “household labor inequality is abuse”? [/quote]

If you think the conversation about an unequal division of labor in households is "new" then welcome to society from the rock you've been living under. [/quote]

No, it’s the new replacement for the divisive mommy wars. But just like the mommy wars between WOHM and SAHM, so many of these complaints come back to choices. [b]Women can now make more choices about working/staying home, which is the point of feminism,[/b] and they can also make choices about what they do for their household and how things are shared with their partner. And of course, they can make choices about who they marry or partner with.

Make your own choices. Make better choices.

No, that wasn't the point of feminism. The point of feminism was to get equal financial footing, including equal pay. It had zero to do with making a "choice" between working and staying home. This is a popular misconception/appropriation of what the women's liberation movement was about.[/quote]

Nope, it was choices. Your understanding is why some women who work disparage some who don’t because the ones who don’t are letting down other women by not pursuing a career.

It’s messed up.

No, darling. [b]I have a degree in women's studies. [/b]It wasn't about "choices." It was about economic empowerment. This notion that was about "choices" is revisionist thinking by entitled women who have no idea what the struggle was like, let alone any understanding of what the movement was about.[/quote]

LOL.  Ask for your money back.  A degree in women’s studies doesn’t give you the right to redefine feminism for everyone.  It is NOT about equal pay, it’s about choices: opportunities and female-empowered decision making.[/quote]
