Those are two of the first thoughts I had as well. I wonder if Rebecca will regret writing this article one day. I don't automatically equate feminism with a belief that motherhood=servitude either. A wealthy well-heeled woman can neglect her children all day long because she doesn't want to be a slave to them (and for her own selfish desires), but that certainly doesn't make her a fanatical feminist.
