[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Femininity is irrelevant to the larger political issues. I'm a sexy feminist, but the fact that I'm sexy doesn't matter one iota beyond my marriage. What matters is my larger contribution to society. If all you're doing is being feminine, yes, I look down on that.[/quote] Where does care giving to the children fit into that analysis? Care giving has traditionally been seen as a feminine quality, but [b]raising your child contributes to society far more [/b]than does, say, being the accounts receivable manager for some mid-sized business. [/quote] God, can we please put this tired trope to rest? I think it's perfectly grand if people want to have children and I don't care a whit if they stay home or work out of the home, but raising children is NOT some massive gift to the world. There are PLENTY of people in the world; creating more people really should be low on the list of "ways to contribute to society."[/quote]
