I am not a fem-bot. But I do not want to be told that as a woman, my only contribution to society is to breed.
Some women have brilliant minds, special skills, wonderful ideas. And it would be a shame if we returned to the days were women were relegated to the kitchen and nursery.
Certainly there is something to be said for a woman staying at home with young children, if it is possible and if she wants to. But that doesn't mean she can't have a rewarding career if she wants one.
This is the twenty-first century, is it not?
I'm still waiting for someone to explain how not having kids is selfish.
Obviously, I feel strongly about this topic because we have decided not to have kids. If women's only value to society is to breed, and I'm not breeding, then I guess my life is worthless. (sarcasm off)
Those days never existed. Women were always welcome in the professions, the arts, etc. It's just that very few ever bothered, back in the old days. So says my mother, who was indeed one of those few. She was never sexually harassed, she never ran into a glass ceiling, was never discriminated against. But when she had a baby at 43, she knew enough to stay home with me.
The glass ceiling, so called, is NEW, and it was created to keep hostile, ideologically driven feminists (who entered the workplace for all the wrong reasons) from ruining things by their bad attitudes.
