Good question.

Does it mean that I should feel guilty about being a SAHM and housewife? Am I betraying my sex by being happy in a ‘traditionally female’ lifestyle? Am I doing my son a disservice by not having a career and a full-time job, preferring to be at home for him and putting my energy towards my home, his school and *GASP* my knitting?

I don’t think so. Isn’t feminism supposed to be about doing what you like and damn the torpedos? Isn’t it supposed to be about equal pay for equal work? If a woman wants to be a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, good on her. Actually, I hope that ANYONE who wants to be a CEO gets the chance they deserve.

I’m tired of being looked at because I love to be a wife and a mom and I actually ENJOY staying at home. I’m tired of women being slammed because they have careers.  I’m tired of men being ridiculed because they have the opportunity to actually be the Man of the House.  People need to get off this gender role thing and accept that people should do what they are good at and love.

Oh, and by the way, boy can knit, too.
