The last time the Equal Rights Amendment was up for vote in Iowa the ads were about eliminating single sex bathrooms. Now how on earth does someone correlate toilet use with equal rights? Did anyone actually advocate that? Of course not. But it successfully scared people against it. Gender equality =/= gender sameness.
Where gender equality has to do with mom being able to stay home with kids, I think it also has to mean mom goes to work and dad stays home if that is what is best for their situation. Where staying at home is not feminist is when it is not realistic or practical in that family for mom to stay home, but you do it anyway because that's the woman's place. And I think this is where sorority and college life in general can be very feminist, in showing women their potential and providing options in life. Wanting to be a wife and mother isn't anti-feminist. Needing to be a wife and mother because you are a woman and that's all you get to be is anti-feminist and should be shunned by any sorority woman.
