I'm a good liberal and I love to see neo-cons get taken down a peg too.

HOWEVER.

I am also a housewife, and there is, in fact, a good deal of pressure from both the right (make more money! it's the meaning of life!) and the left (equality means we must get out there and do exactly what men do!) against being that. Both sides assume that a woman who does not work outside the home for money must be either oppressed, stupid, or both. And that isn't fair, and it does piss us off. Actually.
