Linda Hirshman argues: “Choice feminism” claims that staying home with the kids is just one more feminist option. Funny that most men rarely make the same “choice.” Exactly what kind of choice is that?
The article continues on to support this and say that essentially women should be active in the work place, take their education seriously and USE it as opposed to going off and getting married/having kids and staying home.
A lot of people feel this is judgemental. Yes, I can see why, but here is my thing: Feminism is about achieving equality, yes? and one of the places we need it is in the workplace.
If women are staying home according to traditional roles, then what hope do women, especially as wives/mothers, have in finding equality in the workplace?
