I hope you don't think that one cannot be a feminist and a homemaker
as your posting inplies. I assumed that the original poster meant that
she was raising her child to be a feminist. Whether she remains one or
not is certainly open to question and of course the child's choice.
But if she did become a homemaker for whatever reason she could also
be a feminist if she wished.
