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.

    just put it on the shelf next to "The Rules"

    Here's the deal - I'd like to hear from Caitlin's husband, talking to himself in the mirror while he shaves in the morning. I picture him tied up in a closet in their house (doesn't really sound like a home to me) and let out for her convenience. We're spending too much time on her; she's a bitter bitch with a personality disorder and depressive symptoms; someday she'll be writing about her divorce.
