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.

    divide and conquer

    It would be nice if like CatherineSF suggests, that all we need is to unite on the mommy wars so that men can stop keeping us down. But this logic doesn't address the issue that men are also divided on many fronts and yet still maintain control of large institutions. It's a nice thought though. How about uniting for the sake of uniting?
