Congratulations to the monsters!

And I completely agree with you. Well said.

I believe that the whole point to feminism is that the woman gets to CHOOSE where she takes her life. Roles are no longer "traditional" or "modern" simply because the choice of it takes away the tradition of it all. Michelle is a great feminist because she was able to CHOOSE between her career or her family, and she chose her family. If and when she decides that she wants to jump back in there, then she still has that choice to do so. That's the beauty of feminism: we're no longer forced into a specific role. Being a mother and wife is still a feministic choice. I get annoyed when I hear pseudo feminists bitch about this stuff.

Feminism isn't about competing with the man. Feminism is about having the same choices as the man.
