“UBL may be dead and gone, but we treat our wimmens like second-class citizens, too–don’t let our more-liberal dress code fool you!”

…Can I print up a big sign that says “I am a stay at home mother, please stop asking me when I’m going to start college, get a job or when my daughter will start daycare” and hit people with it?
“Awww, you’re a ‘feminist’ — HOW CUTE!”
Can I print up a big sign that says “I WAS a stay at home [wife and] mother for 2 decades. Please stop posting vintage ads that demonstrate an utter lack of respect for that choice and then dropping heavy handed hints that only feminists could possibly find such juvenile displays offensive” and hit people with it?
Or as Stacy once said, “Don’t piss down my back and then tell me it’s raining”.
O, Cassandra, I’m rather late to this party — and I didn’t find Offend a Feminist Week quite what I expected! Thank you for pointing out so tidily the… discrepancy… that I found so uncomfortable.
Yeah–“We social conservatives honor the choices women make to make their famlies important. Of course, honoring stay-at-home moms may look, to the unaided eye, like we are making fun of them. But we’re having fun, and that’s all that’s important.”
