Child-rearing can be a tedious and thankless undertaking.

There have been women who stumbled across Feministing randomly, through a bizarre Google search or something, and had no idea what feminism was. They thought it was something older women do, or bought into the hairy bra-burning man-hating stereotype 100 percent. Anything that deviates from that is very exciting for them.

Something I say a lot when it comes to anti-feminist stereotypes is that they exist for a reason.
