| 101. I'm a stay at home mom and a proud feminist. Thanks! and, btw... |
|
The people that have given me the most shit for choosing to raise my children myself have been conservative types who could not be described as "feminists" in any sense of the word. And the people that have been the most supportive and helpful of my decision have been "radical" feminists/naturalists.
Food for thought.
Great post!
