The Choice to Stay Home: No Pressure - NYTimes.com

Great forum, but why is the debate framed as “choice”? As Kirsten Swinth writes at CSM:

“Seeing the decision as a choice women make between two options may feel like a happy compromise in the culture wars, but the language of choice has helped obscure the role that business practices, economic pressures, and government policies play in shaping the possibilities that any individual family might choose among.”

Hells yes.
