'New Domesticity' Is a Step Backwards for Women

Hilarious!

Geez, Jamie.... Is it somehow threatening to you that women of the current younger generation - to whom your world memories are ancient history - might actually enjoy learning all those things that city life and mothers with your mindset denied to them as part of their education growing up?

Is there something threatening to you that this particular young woman has taken advantage of her "liberated woman" opportunities to carve out a commercial place for herself peddling these "backwards-leaning" activities for those same-said culturally denied young women?

Do yourself a favor and don't try to impose your "liberated woman" values on those to whom "women's liberation" was something that their grandmothers did.

Funny thing about all the gains made under the guise of women's liberation - these women today are free to choose their goals and activities in life, and need input no longer from those like yourself.

Who the hell are you to protest how some women use those freedoms?
