Moving on with feminism discussion............... I loved the comments on the blog that aelle linked to. Sums it up really well to show why some see feminism as a thorny issue. Because of the things feminists stand for (mostly liberal stances such as pro-choice etc) I can see how feminism can be seen as polarizing. For me, I see feminism as the vehicle that has allowed me today to be able to choose the kind of lifestyle I want.

If I want to stay home and raise my child, up to me. If I want to go out there and work in a male-dominated career, my choice. And I never have to feel a need to justify either choice, or to feel judged as either lacking ambition or being too ambitious as to want to compete with men. I know that some very brave women had to take the bullets for me to have this choice, and they are my heroes. I don't self identify as a femimist because I don't need to really, these women already did all the heart-wrenching work for us, I just worship the women who started it all.......Yay feminism........
