Is it just me, or is this woman's comment over-the-top insulting to all moms,

Nope, it's not just you. She looks down her nose at you. One wonders what she would think about my family with the registered nurse wife working and the husband staying home with the kids. Would she cheer because my wife supposedly gets all the fulfillment and isn't enslaved at home wiping noses, or would she think I'm a wussy boy? Would she look past the American fighting man with no remarkable effeminate tendencies and see an emasculated drone?

Nah...never mind, I forgot the usual press mindset. I'm sure she would just figure I'm a religious fanatic because I don't turn my kids over to the secular system for indoctrination each day and go out and get a full-time job. But on a genetic level she'd only respect me if I was wearing flannel, drinking Bud and carrying a bear carcass. when we met. ;-)

Pardon my language for a moment, but this lady is in dire need of a good ol' fashioned b!tch slap.

More like she needs prayer, but I certainly understand your frustration. Funny how she would call herself a feminist...do you think somebody like Jim Dobson has even a hundredth the derision for career women that this woman has for women who want to run their own lives and do it differently from her? As usual, "diversity" and "choice" mean "You choose to think and act like me or you're an idiot."

OOPS, my apologies, sir, I meant to ping you as well to my post #24.

It's amazing how the terms "feminist and feminism" have taken on such negative terms. I've always considered my self a feminist. but not in the manner it is meant now.

I don't need to be the boss or to prove myself, I'm me and know what I am able to do. I have lived on my own, and survived, and could do it again if Heaven forbid such came about. I just happen to prefer to share my life with a man I love, who happens to be my best friend, and believe it or not is willing to put up with me.

Feminism is supposed to be about choice, isn't it? My choice is to stay home. Yet the so-called "feminists" will deride me. But that derision just tells me that I am the real feminist, because their opinion of me matters not.
