Reply #40: I agree

and coming of age just after the big women's lib movement - but after the first group through (that really had to struggle hard with the division you see) - I am so proud of the women I have come through adulthood with. Mothers, Professionals, Activists, Artists and all sorts of combinations thereof. Many frieds have taken the "mom" route - at least for a number of years while their kids were young. Perhaps there is more backlash than I see (not being in that role) that makes it seem as though some are hostile. I agree - they shouldn't be. The whole thing is about opening doors, options, validating whatever choice one makes but having choices to make.
