The Art of the Stay at Home Wife

I read an article today about a growing number of revolutionary women that have decided to stay at home. These women do not have children, their decision is based solely on the fact that they don't have a life outside their work. In other words, the past forty years of social engineering have revealed to these women that the old order of things was the way it was for a reason.

I wonder how social scientist might view this development. Might they look at their old paradigms of the enslaved housewife, who has been shackled in this demeaning lifestyle by her brute of husband as incorrect? Might they look at the way they have labeled so much of traditional society as quaint and outdated and say, "wait, perhaps they had something here"? More likely these women who have chosen this more traditional view will be labeled as traitors or scorned by the militant social change agents in our society as unwitting dupes of an archaic system.

I find it interesting that many things that we thought we have outgrown suddenly seem so, relevant.
