[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any of you heard of a third wave feminist?  Well, I consider myself a fourth wave feminist.  I do what I want, how I want to do it.  I am equal in mental capacity to any equivalently educated male and physically dominate over a good percentage of them.  If I want to work, I work. If I want to stay home and eat meat that my man makes me, I do that.  I will either homeschool my kids with organic handmade toys or ship them off to Phillips Andover at 13. I don't follow the rule of some woman who spent 20 years earning the approval of her teachers and now can't function outside of an accomplishment based system.  I am going to take my masters degree and troll Harris teeter in lululemon all f-ing day.  My life. My choice.  Period.  [/quote]

+1. The feminists who are trying to turn women into corporate worker bees aren't the feminists who speak for my family.

For me feminism means working to give women choices, and then allowing them to make them. Live and let live.[/quote]

This is exactly right. Thanks, PPs!

I am a 44 year old with two toddlers, and after dealing with daycare and WOHM bullshit I  recently decided to stay home after a 20 year career in my profession (and a Masters Degree and lots of global travel.)  To be frank, having both partners working while raising young kids/ without extended family to help is VERY hard. It is still hard being home but *for me* much better. I have nothing to prove (nor nothing else to achieve) in my career. I still call myself a "feminist" and am totally okay with the choices I've made.[/quote]
