If someone genuinely feels under too much pressure from feminism to have children and stay home with them, she should seek help. It is not normal to be this strongly influenced by a small section of a society which otherwise overwhelmingly supports women's right to choose.

I think this feeling comes from the general thrust of feminism - be a ceo, earn more, work in tech etc. Essentially (and ironically) 'be more like a man'. There v little talk of motherhood apart from how it holds women down. 1/

Well, no. The right to motherhood has never been denied. Anyone who is fertile and attractive enough to get a partner already has that right and has done forever.

I'm not saying motherhood is denied. I'm saying it feels disparaged sometimes. That feminism at the moment focuses on women striving to earn more and have high status jobs. The other side of that coin? That to focus on kids instead is to maintain the patriachial status quo.

Yes, I don't deny this. I am saying that they're allowed to think that way. Just as the tradlifers are. And we can ignore both and make our own choices and society will overwhelmingly support this.
