The happy hypocrite

I never cared that Caitlin Flanagan calls herself an at-home mother, even though she's a magazine writer with a staff of helpers. But now she's using her battle with cancer to denounce feminism and extol her traditional virtues -- and I've had it.

    Don't worry Joan, most working women are way too busy to read this trash and I assure you, we don't know who the hell Caitlin Flanagan is anyway. (How many people on the West Coast read the New Yorker anyway?) We're too busy working and taking care of our families and homes, and paying bills, and working in our yards, and driving little Johnny to baseball practice, etc. Woops, gota run, Dr Phil is on!
