There are a lot of men out there who feel threatened by the idea of an independent-minded woman who has a career and other priorities than being a housewife - someone who went to college for something other than an "MRS degree". It's "ok" for men to have those attitudes, because they're men. We as women are expected to submit, stay home, cook and clean, and make babies.

And it's not as if I even have a problem with that. One of my best friends from high school was a stay at home mom for six years. She just decided to go back to school to finish her bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I supported her decision to stay home, and I support her decision to go back to school.
The problem I have is when men try to pit women who make different choices against each other, placing blame for the so-called "downfall of American culture" on women who have decided to work outside the home. That's the real tragedy in all of this, that women find it hard to look at each other from behind their choices.
