I don't know how many times I've gotten the, "Oh, you're a stay-at-home-mom... You must be regressive and think that women shouldn't work" vibe, look, or flat out said to my face.
In my opinion being a feminist is being able to choose. To choose to stay home or to work and to have a flexible workplace that supports working parents. I don't think this is just applicable to women, I know stay-at-home-dads, as well as moms.
I don't think one sex should be put above the other. I second the idea of egalitarianism. It shouldn't matter if you are a man or a woman, if you do a certain job, one should receive the same pay as others in a given field. If you are able to choose to stay home with your kids, that should also be respected. I may not earn a paycheck, but I work my ass off taking care of my kids and my home. Just because I don't earn money, it doesn't mean my role is not important, for my family and for society at large.
