How not to be an anti-feminist ...

CLICK ON THE TITLE ABOVE TO WATCH THE VIDEO!
So this girl…I can’t even call her a woman because..well you watch the video and see for yourself. We have gone so far with woman’s rights and equality among men and women that it scares me that there are people (including WOMEN) out there that have these views. I even respect that you want to be a stay at home wife and have six kids, GO FOR IT! It doesn’t bother me and I’m sure you would love it. There is nothing wrong with that. But making a video like this just makes you sound so unintelligent and rude. I mean she said it for herself, “I don’t have all my facts straight”…then don’t post a video. Please.
The point of my post is that perhaps you don’t like all that feminists have to say, but that doesn’t mean that you should go about talking about the role of women this way. I mean, I probably don’t agree with everything that feminists have to say but that doesn’t mean I don’t respect everything that women activists have done and accomplished. I am so thankful that I can go to school and speak my mind on this blog. It’s alright that women want to be housewives, I personally don’t see that as backtracking, but I think that EVERY woman should have goals that she wants to achieve personally, apart from her family goals and strive to achieve them. I think that’s what this girl in the video should think about. Perhaps she doesn’t have career goals (clearly youtube sensation is out of the question) , but she should at least fill her head with knowledge or go experience the world and not take anything for granted.
Please comment about the video or about what I’ve posted below :)
