It is not having money so that one can stay home, or having a sexy body and an exhibitionist streak which allows one to capitalize on it that are the problems. The problem is the patriarchy.

The system which teaches us all these fucked up messages about sex and power is the problem, not individual women's circumstances or choices. Any time spent blurring that focus is wasted time at best, IMO.
