Wow. When Jill posted her article, Feminism + Housewifery<\/a>, on Feminste, she knew it would be\u00a0provocative\u00a0and controversial. She even ended her post with \u201cBombs thrown. Discuss away.\u201d Basically, Jill takes on the idea that it\u2019s just fine for women to choose to stay at home with their children and be housewives, and in the process she brings up a whole array of thought-provoking issues. Remember when I said that I like to think of feminism as a discussion rather than a rule book? This is the sort of discussion I find fascinating. And, it\u2019s a read I think almost anyone will find interesting. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

And here is another similar article, this one focusing on Complementarianism: Religion, Women\u2019s Work, and the Economy<\/a>, on the Huffington Post. I\u2019m really glad these discussions are taking place, especially in light of recent studies <\/a>that show that men who have stay at home wives are actively hostile towards women in the workplace.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
