This is a fantastic article from The Guardian newspaper in England about young women reclaiming their traditional gender roles away from the limited dogmatic servitude of the Feminist movement! It seems that being a "Feminist" can also include being a homemaker, and a mother.......much to the chagrin of the Feminist hardliners. This quote says it all......
"Holly feels disappointed that not everyone understands her passion. "I get so much negative feedback," she says. "People think I'm an idiot and have no interest in feminism. For me, it's about reclaiming traditional values and still being able to call yourself a feminist. That's how I class myself but still people say, 'How can you say that when you like to bake cakes?' But I don't like having rules and I don't like the idea that you can't do something because it's un-feminist. We've been socially persuaded into being embarrassed about our femininity and now we want to embrace it."
