Well look at how feminists act and what their claims and complains are, not what the definition of the word is on wikipedia.
"Of course feminists think staying at home with children is a horrible ordeal
No they do not."
The complaints don't make sense without the assumption that staying home with children is horrible. It is implied.
"There are other family arrangements besides father and mother."
Whatever do you mean?

From that article:
"In 2012, as in 2002, among full-time, year-round workers, women were paid 77 percent of what men were paid."
So they, too don't cite the honest number of 4% that you get if you take into account things like hours worked, areas of work, part time, and so on. How reliable is that? And why do you even link to that, if it doesn't address the question of how many women in IT they found for their comparison?

From that article:
"The analysis doesn’t control for different levels of education, work experience, or other factors that affect compensation"
Just what I said about those studies...
"Nobody wants to force anyone to do anything they don't want to do."
If you stay home and don't make a career, you are a thorn in the side of feminism. Try it and see how much respect you'll earn from feminists.
In any case I have the impression that the differences in careers between men and women are seen as a problem by feminists.
"We are talking about equal pay for equal work. Stop attacking a stawman."
I question the validity of these studies, that is I question that they really compare equal work.
"Of course your mind is made up and no amount of facts and reason can change it."
So is yours. Well this is just a discussion forum and I can only say it the way I see it. Maybe if you pay attention, over time you'll come to see it too. You can see it in every feminist article.
