Women whose job it is to discuss "feminism" can rarely be trusted with the feminist ideology. They are too busy spinning, too driven by preconceived notions, too dedicated to a uniform vision, and just plain too narrow to accept the diversity of individual personalities and preferences, strengths and aspirations. They cannot speak frankly. They have to follow their scripts. Look at the feminist establishment – embodied in organizations as the National Organisation of Women, the National Abortion Rights Action League and individuals such as Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinhem and Ann Lewis – it is being accused of hypocrisy and being little more than political opportunists. The advocators for feminism embrace traditional feminine values – notice their individual emphasis on family life and motherhood behind those tough feminist outlooks.

Carolyn Graglia, who was a lawyer and is now a homemaker, came out in October with ‘Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism’ (3). These books strike at the very heart of feminist ideology, contending that women are, by nature, more suited to raising children and steering the life of the home than to pursuing careers. Childrearing and homemaking aren't burdens but noble, fulfilling pursuits that deserve our respect. Many professional women, who have achieved success in their career and gained dignity and respect in society, cherish their jobs as mothers and wives as much, if not more, than their professions.
