... on your definition of feminism I suppose :P

In my definition feminism is about being able to choose whether you want to go out and work or whether you want a family.  It also about giving men the same option.

What Mr Jack Cashill fails to see is that it is increasingly impossible for women not to stay home... as in they can't afford to.  So, in that light its not feminism that's bad, its the greed that sends good paying jobs over seas, lowers real income, and raises prices.

And if he really wants to spin it that way, why don't men stay home and watch after the babies while the women go earn the daily bread?

Via the Climate Crisis Coalition, I just stumbled across this list of green books for Mother's Day, with recommendations for the fashionable mom, the busy mom, and even the mom who can't get enough of Ed Begley Jr. Classic!

Let me also suggest eco-friendly soy wax candles.

Soy wax is a very eco-friendly product with a lot of benefits. It is a renewable, sustainable resource that is all natural, biodegradable, vegan friendly, and water soluble. Most soy wax is grown in Midwest America free from pesticides, herbicides and contains no genetically modified material.

Soy wax makes a great candle because it burns cooler, more uniformly, and can last up to 50% longer than traditional paraffin wax candles. Soy wax is also a clean burning wax, with little to no petro-soot or other harmful emissions, so there's no black ring of soot around the top of the candle container and allergies are seldom triggered.
