The problem was that if you have to keep doing it, it stops being nice. It gets repetitive & dull and requires far too much sociability. For me, anyway. But I hope if this lady gets her dream, she finds it is all that she hopes it will be.

I did do the domestic goddess thing when I first moved into my house & enjoyed it. Painted flowers all over my kitchen and redecorated everywhere & kept everything all shiny & nice. Did lots of cooking. But it passed. Writing is the only thing I've consistently wanted to do ever

My cousin is a natural domestic goddess & thrives on a life filled with kids' activities (and now a grandchild) and making her home clean, comfortable & beautiful. I don't understand it but then I don't have to. The problem comes in when people tell others what should fulfil them

This is the point that Feminists always miss. The path a woman chooses to take in life, whether she makes a 'traditional' choice, or opts to pursue a career, is her choice and should be respected. Women don't owe anything to the 'sisterhood'. We're not part of some hive mind.

They don't miss it. This is known as 'choice feminism' and there is a whole wealth of papers on it with some arguing for and some arguing against.

Thanks. I'm going to dig into this a little deeper. I've only seen the other side represented so far (the ones who are anti choice). I'm always willing to examine/consider other perspectives.
