[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a proud "feminist" but also a SAHM who bristles when WOHM try to tell me that they are better than me, do more than me, and that I should try to find a job with flexibility like they do.

I'm the feminist. They are the anti-feminists.[/quote]

OP here, yet again. I am a proud feminist (no need for quotation marks) and a SAHM as well. Feminism is what gave women the choice to work and/or stay home with their kids. It's too bad that some people misunderstand that, but that is their problem, not the problem with the feminist movement as a whole.

[quote=Anonymous]In recent threads...

The feminists cheered and laughed when Michelle Duggar lost her baby

The feminists jeered and lacked empathy for he military mom who died leaving a husband and kids behind.

The feminists blamed a dad for his wife's depression

The feminists put down SAHMs

The feminists didn't see why a father who is not with the mother should get visitation during the first few months of the baby's life because it is hard enough for mom and that is her time to bond.

This is why I do not identify as a feminist. Do these feminists represent all feminists - no of course not. But that is the voice of modern feminism that now comes through loud and clear. I will loudly speak out for human rights (of all people) but I do not identify as a feminist, that word for me is tainted. [/quote]
As another poster pointed out, nowhere in these posts did someone identify themselves as a feminist and then proceed to say these horrible things.

Please show me the post where someone says, "I'm a feminist and it's GREAT that Michelle Duggar lost her baby!"

Please show me the post where someone says, "I'm a feminist and that woman who died got what she deserved!"

Please show me the post where someone says, "I'm a feminist and men are evil and make their wives spiral into depression!"

You get my point, I hope.

A feminist perspective on the post about the tragic death of the mother with 8 children might be to wonder what it will take to ensure that women around the world have access to modern pre- and postnatal care, not to castigate the mother for having 8 children. [/quote]
