This article seems to be written from the standpoint of a certain kind of feminism. Particularly it is the assumption that women need to make money and be financially successful to be valuable. The women I know who are interested in Etsy are very interested in what some would call being "traditionally" feminine. They want to be mothers and wives first, and they find joy in that, but they also want to make things. The men in these relationships are happy to be financial providers while the women fulfill other needs.
- huherto 17y agoWhy the downmods? It seems to me valid that some people prefer traditional roles. As long as they are happy with it.
- jcromartie 17y agoI think we'll see that the "traditional roles" label will fade away with time. To the people that are labelled that way it's not so much "traditional" as it is "natural" (to them). Women who grow up wanting nothing more than to raise a family (without being indoctrinated) do exist, and it's quite a value judgement to say that they are somehow less of a woman or wrong for following their desires.
