I have a question for serious feminists. Actually two questions.

3. Some good points.

I had assumed the fifties vibe from the clip art and general look of the site (and reworking of old articles I am sure) was just part of the current modern retro fad/fashion in other areas as well, but it seemed like they had cleaned up some of the real garbage from the old articles. And the few articles I looked at (like the let your kids do dangerous things I reposted) included boys and girls and generally used gender-nuetral terms like "kids" so it wasn't all about teach your boy children to do these things. Or you know, how to trim your beard

Good catch on lack of articles on how to work for a woman or deal with bigots, and there didn't seem to be much in the way of articles teaching how to do what would be stereoptypical "womanly" skills either so yeah I am getting it more now. (also I looked some more and found a kind of creepy article on "protecting" your family when out in public that got my hackles up a bit in the portrayal of the more or less helpless wife needing it in the first place).

You helped me get a better picture of what the person objecting to the site was seeing (they didn't take the time to explain, and I understand why but there were some willing to hear and just getting the "if you can't see it you will never get it" was not helpful)

Thank you for taking the time and sorry about the "serious" - I just meant people that have actually delved into the subject beyond using it as a self-descriptor.
