The Freedom of Home

Homeliving Helper has an excellent post on the freedom of home. Here's a small bit:
Why should I feel bad about being home? The men are staying home more and more often. My sister-in law's boyfriend is basically stay at home. And she has a girlfriend who just married her boyfriend..again, basically, a stay at home boyfriend. No reliable income from these men for these girls. And my sister-in law and her friend work very hard, and work long hours! How do the guys get away with this?

It sounds incredible, doesn't it, that while feminists (or, at least, the vast majority of them), incessantly sing praise to the glories of career for women, and how much more superior outside jobs are to housekeeping, they seem to encourage stay-at-home men. For instance, Linda Hirshman, as reported in Human Events Online, recommends to career women to find Mr. Mom. The reason is, of course, that feminist orthodoxy sees the traditional female roles of wife, mother, homemaker and a submissive woman as inferior to the traditional male roles of guide, protector, provider, and the head of the family.
