"Why? Because the “family — with its repetitious, socially invisible, physical tasks — is a necessary part of life, but it allows fewer opportunities for full human flourishing than public spheres like the market or the government.”

Most jobs, even professional jobs, are far more boring and repetitive than Motherhood and homemaking.

I have studied feminism since it's modern beginnings in the late 60s. The women (and I use that term loosely) who started the "womens' movement" were radicals. They were socialists, man-haters, who wanted to destroy marriage and family. Feminism wasn't taken over by radical maniacs, it was started by radical maniacs. They lied then, and they lie now. Women have had the exact same pay for the same work for years.

Feminists said years ago that all heterosexual sex is rape. That marriage itself is a patriarchical suppression of women akin to chattel slavery. etcetcetc. They wanted (and want) not just Big Government, but Huge Government. They're the ones who pushed for no-fault divorce and abortion. Their goals are the total destruction of traditional family and traditional male and female roles. They pretend that men and women are interchangeable (except that men are inherently evil unless they are homosexuals).

It is the selflessness that one learns when they are a mother or father to someone that the feminsts have never learned.

It's always all about them.
