>Salon writers have got to learn to take a deep breath and ignore some people who don't deserve the energy you expend on them.<
...and ignoring them has led to more and more anti-feminist domestic-angels-uber-alles commentators like Flanagan. Come on--seemingly every other freakin' month sees new "do as I say, not as I do" books from Ann Crittenden, Sylvia Hewlett, Katie O'Beirne, etc., etc. These folks need to be called out on their hypocrisy and disdain for real women every chance we get. Not only are they not practicing what they preach, what they preach isn't at all workable or realistic. And these kind of lies have a damaging culmulative effect--they don't address the real problems, and they want to make everyone think turning back the clock is the only solution.
