Well...I think that I recall the line of reasoning from the OP, at that point in time. There was the point about radical feminism. I would guess the 3rd wave of feminism where I'm somewhere in the 2nd wave of equinamity. During the anti harassment/discrimination era. I disagree that raising kids isn't the hardest role in the world. I get the point about breaking up the nuclear family but I also get the point about sticking women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen and at the will of a husband that may or may not be capable of doing right by the family.
As a mother of sons I do not want to raise them into a culture that says that they are not employable nor worthy because of their gender but I do not feel like we as a society are even heading in that direction. They do hold doors for me and others they do use manners and know that mom can not only use a screwdriver but can be feminine all at the same time.
