Marriage shouldn't be about fulfilling societal expectations and gender roles. Its meant to be about the relationship with the other person.

Feminism is about choice. If a woman wants to be a mother who stays at home, and that makes her happy, there's no reason to condemn her. Just like there is no reason to ridicule a woman who chooses a career over a family, never gets married, and has a series of relationships. It shouldn't be about who does what. I believe in equality of choice, of treatment, of opportunity. I'd prefer that there just be people.
