I understand your reaction AEPiZX, but I just think your response is weird. I think the VAST majority of modern women are feminists, whether career or stay at home or somewhere in the middle. Rather than reject the feminist movement, why not embrace it? The reason feminism comes off seeming so extreme is that moderate feminist women have shrugged off the label. If you treat being a feminist as a bad thing or a sign that a woman is a hairy legged, militant, man-hater then how can we expect to attract manstream support and get things that women really need?
I think the next big fight for feminism is actually more centered on family issues. I as a feminist want to see women and even men fight for more ways to combine childrearing and careers and give families more options. Whether it is allowing women to take time off without loosing their footing in the work world, allowing mothers to go to part time or to work from home, or even just giving them breaks to breastfeed while at work, these are all things that someone like you would probably stand behind and they are also all feminist issues.
Women have many fights ahead of them. We still make less then men for the same work. We still shoulder most of the childrearing and housework duties. We are more likely to be poor. And we are still facing many challenges with the glass ceiling and with sexism at work. It really doesn't matter if you stay at home or go to work. These issues effect us all. I really don't think you should remove yourself from the whole idea of feminism just because of one closeminded friend or a few loudmouth extremists.
