Issues

So here's my dilemma: On the one hand, I am well-versed in feminist theory, and feminist movements, which tend to be grounded in critique of Western patriarchy as it exists under capitalism. That is, I get that women's role as mother and caregiver is undervalued and often devalued. But on the other hand, I have issues with my sister in law. She is a stay at home mom, who actually never really worked before having kids, other than waitressing part-time for a few years after high school.
