Exactly right. Meantime, some of us homemakers were forced underground. I'll never forget the feeling, being at cocktail parties with my sales-rep husband, and women there asking me what I did. And, evidently, the hideous homemaker hump would suddenly arise on my back. That must have been why they were looking at me with horror and pity. The years of the giddy attempting to shame those who decided to KEEP their family their first priority. It wasn't an easy choice to defend, in those days. You were simply cut off and dismissed before an explanation could be offered. Men have never treated women as badly as feminists treated non-feminists then. That is why I heralded Martha Stewart. She made it officially O.K. to love homemaking as a CHOICE.
Well, only women who work outside the home truly work. /sarcasm
"Men have never treated women as badly as feminists treated non-feminists then."
I had a few run ins with feminists in academia and in the corporate world (what loittle time I spent there), and am glad I spent little time around them. But I must disagree. My experience is vastly different. Some men I have encountered are every bit as bad as the feminists, if not worse.
