[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why not just give adult women the credit of being able to make good choices for their own circumstances, whatever those might be?[/b]

For some, that is working. For others, it is staying home. For many, it is a combination.

For many women, it's deciding not to have kids at all!

All choices are valid.[/quote]

It's just like the pro choice movement. Being pro choice /= pro abortion. It just means you think women are capable and should have the right to make their own choices regarding whether and when to have a child.

Being a feminist doesn't mean you think all women should have to work 50 + hour weeks in a formerly male dominated high power profession. It means you think they should have the opportunity to do so[i] if they wish.[/i][/quote]

Actually, that is not what feminism is all about. It is about having women be on equal footing with men and working 50+ hour weeks in formerly male dominated high power professions. And it is why I do not really identify and support the true feminist movement, which I think is just another way to force women in to situations in order to exploit them. Eff that. I will do what I want and no one gets to decide what I do except me. [/quote]

No, you really don't get feminism.  No one is looking to force women to work 50+ hours a week.  Any woman who has children would much prefer to have more family-friendly workplaces.  But when we work, we want equal pay when we do the same work as that male colleague.  And we want it recognized that we have as much right to be in that workplace as any father.[/quote]
