      Sorry, i meant to say 2 incomes. I agree with equal rights but feminism has removed the opportunity for mums to be mums.

      No, it hasn't. The fact that women also have intellectual interests & ambitions is not solely a feminist position. It's reality.

      This is like the argument that Saudi women who want to drive shouldn't coz it disadvantages the women who'd prefer to be driven. Tough.

      Typical manipulative left feminist. I agree with equal rights but i also believe they should have the option to stay at home too.

      Charles I don't think you understand what freedom is, if a woman wants to work they can, if they want to stay home they can.

      Exactly. I agree. Sadly though woman or men have not got the option now to stay at home with their children.

      I can't find that we disagree on anything. But Charles is asserting that feminism prevents women from doing this. Unclear how.

      I think feminist theory is trying to socially engineer society away from that option though.

      Feminists who subscribe to it try to make it socially unacceptable to be a stay at home mom. Arg is that it's debasing and servitude to men

      That was an old radfem thing. Intersectionals don't care about it & they have dominated for some time now.

          Dunno if the author is a radfem or intersectional, but seems recent enough to outright call it outdatedhttp://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/03/22/columnist-it-should-be-illegal-to-be-a-stay-at-home-mom/ …

          It isn't an intersectional argument. Also not very common. That zeitgeist has passed. Women working is mainstream now.

          It is. Being a stay at home mom also is. But some don't like it and are trying to make it socially inadequate, even today.

          Also, stay at home moms who don't work is pretty much an impossibility in lower and middle class around here

          Either way, I'm not disputing if it's a majority, minority, only that such a position exists
