Just because you enjoy being barefoot and in the kitchen doesn't make you "not a good feminist." You have a choice, and if you enjoy the "traditional" role, you are entitled to that choice. Just like a woman who wants to work and not have children is entitled to hers. I think that is what feminism is about.
When I first read your post (before you added in the stuff in brackets), I was going to write how wonderful it is that you can choose :)
Enjoy your year off, and more if you decide to do that. It is wonderful!
Definitely agree with Jody! Glad to hear you're still enjoying this experience...although you could likely make the best of anything, so here's to you, Lyn!

This feminist enjoyed both being pregnant and being in the kitchen (though not in the cliched sense!).
