[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought feminism was freeng women from societal norms so they could chose who they wanted to be and not be forced by society into pre-conceived roles?  So who gets to choose for the individual woman - the woman or society?  Is society now choosing that women must WOH or be thought less than those who do?  Just like years ago women who WOH were thought to be less than those who SAH?  I thought feminism meant women got to choose for themselves. Now other women are choosing for them?[/quote]

You're being purposely disingenuous [/quote]

No, I am not.  If feminism was about women seizing control of their own destiny and choosing what they want for their own lives rather than being forced into a role or denied opportunities available to men, then why is the choice to SAH denied to them (or at least undervalued) by other women?  [/quote]

Feminism is about having the same work opportunities as men.[/quote]

It's that and more. It's equal pay for equal work, reproductive choice, the right to vote.  But are women required to vote?  No. Can women choose to use contraceptives and if so, what method?  Of course. So now that women have more equal (not yet fully equal) opportunities in the work force, they have a duty to WOH?  That's just as bad as the old days when women who WOH were looked down upon because society thought they had a duty to SAH.
