Can any feminism which ignores the critical role of motherhood rightfully be considered conservative? I don't think so.

"We all engage in deception," she says, and "that deception is the modern Big Lie that women find fulfillment in their careers," but "we have allowed the media to so flavor our goals and views that we continue down a path we despise."

And who does this modern Big Lie really benefit?

                Yup.  Keep 'em barefoot...
                                ...by killing the sexual revolution...
                 ...pregnant...      
                                ...providing larger child credits...
                 ...and in the kitchen...
                                ... replacing no-fault divorce laws

"My message is that the domestic life is not a sacrificial life and that one's education is never wasted--you can use it every day."

That's a wonderful message, as true today as ever.

The dramatic social changes that she desires, though, are simply not reasonably achievable goals. Men and women haven't changed over the last 50 years; men and women haven't changed much in the last 50,000 years. What has changed is our technology and our standards of living.

If we really want to move toward her goals, though, we can change some of our laws. We can experiment with tougher divorce laws. We can less aggressively intervene in domestic disputes. And although it might take a Constitutional amendment, we can even tax women who work at a higher rate than men who work. Hell, with a Constitutional amendment, we could even make it illegal for women to work outside of the home.

But how could we uninvent modern devices for contraception? Unless we also uninvent all of our modern means of communication and travel, how could we even sensibly try to outlaw them?

I believe feminism as the social arm of the Marxist class struggle peaked in the late 80's and early 90's and has been declining ever since. Its leaders' hypocritical defense of Bill Clinton shredded all of its already waning credibility among Middle America.

I strongly recommend her book Domestic Tranquility.
