THATS my idea of Equality

[surreul]

article

• In which linda claims that a woman with a masters from harvard is fucking wasted being a stay at home mom.

Yes. No duh. Thank you! First time I head someone saying/writing this.

• She also writes that being a stay at home mom is not intellectually fufilling.

 Feels so politically incorrect to even agree with this but I do. I've never heard a convincing arguement otherwise.

• She addresses the fact that women going into the liberal arts without thinking about what kind of job that will let them hold (men do this in much fewer numbers) is fucking stupid and partly resultant from 'women not taking work seriously because they never expect to be the 'rulers' of society'

God yes. I have to hold my tongue every time I talk to a college girl who's doing poli sci and has no idea what she wants to do with it.

• She mentions how many more woman then men go into public non profit type work and how that's fucking stupid for future independence.

Making the world a better place is nice but it isn't going to help much when you decide you want to divorce your husband and support your two children alone (and obviously you don't think it'll happen now, no one married expecting divorce). Arguing that you shouldn't do the housework is a lot easier when you're not dependent on him to support your father.

I maybe don't agree completely with about 10% of what she says but the article resonates so surprisingly deep.

*very, very pleased*

The fact that most families can't afford to have anyone stay at home and so this doesn't apply much is true but irrelevant to the truth of this arguement. As it mentions in the article what the 'elite' of the society do does affect everyone.
