Letters to the Editor

Just like I said originally
"...because people read into those collective choices all sorts of truths about womankind, and then want to base all kinds of legislation/action/reform on those conclusions."
And it is THOSE people who threaten my freedom.
We do better to combat bullying, fundamentalism of all kinds, and the groupthink, intimidation and intellectual dishonesty that those people employ, rather than demean other women's choices.
That only makes the people who do it as bad as the gender-role enforcers they say they're trying to combat.
And what are "collective choices?" Do you really think a whole lot of women got together and made group choice to stay home with kids? Or do you think that individual women make choices based on what they believe to be best for their families, and then other people perceive it as a movement or statement and try to spin it as something easy to sell stories about?
