[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for those of you who look down upon SAHMs:  Do you consider yourself a feminist? [/quote]

Not really.[/quote]

Well good - at least you're honest about that.  Because feminism, in my book, includes celebrating the many choices women have and their ability to go after the one that works for them.  [/quote]

So all the 1950s housewives were feminists, or you're a feminist because you could use your education for paid employment, yet choose not to do so?[/quote]

1950s housewives didn't have the opportunities that we do today, so staying home with one's children really wasn't a choice.  It was expected.  Nowadays, however, women can choose to do or be whatever they want to.  That's what feminism is supposed to celebrate - equal rights, equal opportunities, equal pay.  I can go to school, get a good education, work, have children, continue working, decide to stay home with my kids, return to work later, or not.  Who are you, or anyone else, to tell women who choose to be home with children that their choice is somehow invalid?  That makes you an anti-feminist, in my book.  Women are supposed to support other women, not tear them down.  Guess you didn't get the memo.  [/quote]

Does your husband have all those freedoms too? Or is he expected to just foot the bill while you do whatever you want?[/quote]

I don't about pp's husband, but my husband appreciates what I do, and we are married, so he's not footing the bill (how sad that you view marriage that way). He's happy that I take care of our son, keep the house taken care of, make dinner each night, do the errands, and that he can relax when he gets home instead of working a second job because nothing got done while we were both at work all day. His outlook is like mine- we take care of each other.[/quote]
