maggie i really appreciate your openness on this subject. i do feel that the feminist movement, while “extreme” brought some good ends. women should have the same availability and allowance as men to have a career if they choose, equal pay, etc etc. but i also agree that now there seems to be this “pressure” that women have to DO IT ALL! i guess i won’t judge anyone’s personal choice to “do it all” or “do their thing,” but i dont find it fair that women who don’t choose the big career path are looked on as less important than the “full time mom/wife/something else.”

anyways we’ve talked about this before and the point is just dont let someone tell you what you “should be.” listen to your heart and the Spirit and live YOUR life!

mmm good question! I would cook and bake all day and then i’d read blogs, blog, and find a place to volunteer – probably a place where i can play with little animals all day and not have to put up with mean people. Dream life huh??

Maggs i LOVE your quinoa cookie recipe! It looks fantastic and i can already imagine how nutty and delicious they are!! yum!!!

I agree that the “feminist” movement has been somewhat confusing. Women do not have to be in prestigious careers to prove anything. Just saying “prove” makes it seem like we’re inferior by nature. We’re not. And what’s happened is that women are still trying to do the “traditional” house-based work AND the career stuff… so we’re all going slightly crazy. I don’t see how that moves us further along, as a gender. My take on it is that individuals come with different strengths, and those strengths should be nurtured. I don’t want kids and don’t think I’d be a super mom, but I’m an awesome wife, and I get so much fulfillment from doing house stuff. I don’t think that makes me less of a “feminist.” To me, feminism is about empowerment, doing what YOU love, embracing who you are. I work because I like the structure and routine, and I like making money. I don’t think I have to work to prove anything. I love writing, and before the pressures of the real world entered my brain, I could spend all day working on stories. I miss that. I love watching movies, reading, and making a good home.
Great topic!

I would spend more time outside when it’s nice. Bake more, spend less time on the computer, read more, walk more…all sorts of fun stuff.

Domestic work is hard. My friends that are stay-at-home moms work 24/7. Definitely not an easy career choice, but one I hope to have someday.

I really appreciate the fact that you can say “I don’t consider myself a feminist” — because I don’t either, and never have, and I have gotten a lot of flack for it! I DO believe in feminist ideals — I volunteer with an all-girls writing nonprofit, went to an all-girls school, believe in the social and economic transformation that comes from educating girls in third-world countries — but I think of “feminist” as more of an adjective than a noun/identity. As a noun, it just seems too exclusive — there are a lot of male-specific societal norms/constraints too!

Anyway, if I could do anything all day, I would spend WAYYY more time outside!!!
