2. Why is a Feminist Community Important? Online feminist communities are places of empowerment for women. One of their basic principles is that women can do and be anything they want, and women from all walks of life participate in them. However, there is a common misconception in many of them...
3. Housewives? That common misconception that feminists can’t be housewives or stay at home moms. Or, what is more likely, that a feminist who can choose her own path would simply not want to be a housewife. This sometimes results in negativity toward those who choose to be homemakers.
4. Mom Communities There are numerous online communities for housewives and stay at home moms. Overall these communities represent a positive trend, but there tends to be some negativity lurking within them as well. Members often feel that they have no choice but to stay at home, and that can be very depressing. Those members who feel that they have to stay at home but aren’t bothered by it may be critical of those who feel that they should be making more of a contribution, and vice versa.
5. A Happy Medium The women who fell between the common feminist and the common housewife/stay at home mom needed a place of their own, to talk about issues specific to them. Happily, there is now a resource and community site just for them!
