Right, and you can, for example, stay home with the kids and still be a feminist. Because you know what? We live in a society where the pressure on women to do so is unequal to the pressure on men to do so. You can recognize that pressure, be ideologically against that pressure, work to make changes that reduce/eliminate that pressure, and STILL make the choice to stay home with your kids, and that's okay.
