Chris,
IMHO you are 100% on the mark! I never felt more a feminist until I
carried, birthed and nursed/nurtured my children. Birth can be an
empowering experience for a woman---if it has not been overshadowed by
the usual medical technology ( no flames please, I know that it has its
place). It's a connection with all women throughout human existence.
Of course, before I embarked on motherhood, I thought to be a feminist
meant not "throwing" away my career for my children. What was I
thinking?! Mothering has taught me more about feminism than anything
else! I once saw a poster of a mother from South America. I believe she
was one of the leaders of some resistance movement. She was rallying the
people. In her arms was her infant . Tell me she's not a feminist! I
doubt she was getting the looks that I have gotten in the past when my
children tagged along with me on errands!
Aloha,

morning as I sit at the computer nursing my Klingon baby)
