Even though I can describe myself as positively feminist (i.e I agree with views which promote women's ability to contribute to the broader society), I do find myself agreeing to the above quote.
Men and women are two peas in a pod each needing the other to reach optimum capacity. Hence I do not agree with statements like, "What a man can do, a woman can do better". We are individually gifted and are able to perform different roles in life and in our relationships.
I believe women should embrace their roles as wives and mothers in a more positive way because the nature and character of future generations depends a lot on us. King David of the Bible followed the example of his mother in his service to God (Psalm 86: 16).
This does not mean women do not have a role in business or any career however, it often is a choice on what area of your life can take more hits. I hope it is not the home front when I am faced with those choices.
