    Preach it lady! Each can find a path in life that fits them. If you have to be pushed in a role by someone else who then tells you that is the only way for someone like you, you’re not your own person, you’re someone elses property.

    Be free!

        Hmm, yes I see your point. I’m very much in the process of raising a couple of daughters. I try to support them as best I can in achieving whatever they believe to be their path in life. I did tell them I did want them to at least give higher education a serious shot but they could choose whatever kind they liked and I would never be mad they failed at it, as long as they gave it an honest try. The post above does not ridicule homemakers, but the people who would reduce any woman to that role because that is “what women are for”. My mother was a homemaker most of her life, she did get married and had kids later in life though and first was one of the few women of her time to get a university degree (graduated early 1950’s) and worked both as a teacher and as an assistant professor before she had kids and after we got old enough not to need her all the time. I think your pointing out hypocrisy is rather cheap.
