feminism.

We're a very judgmental society (maybe, in fact, all societies are-- perhaps a survival mechanism we evolved eons ago...) and while I agree entirely with her point, I would note that fathers who were outearned by their wives and picked up much of the housekeeping and child-rearing have been scorned for years. And it's not only about family matters or gender roles-- it's just what we do to people who don't fit into our little boxes.

Every one of us has a story, maybe lots of stories where, someone, or a lot of people, tried to fit our lives into their molds. It's about time we evolved out of this nonsense and everyone learned to mind their own damn business.
