WHAT a refreshing page in the paper, a woman who wants to go back to traditional family roles (Gazette, September 20, “‘We should go back to traditional roles’”).

If this family is happy living in a traditional manner, good luck to them.

The most important job a woman can do is to concentrate her care for her children and prepare them for life as adults.

I am fully aware that because of so many reasons this is a difficult issue today, but that doesn’t alter the primary reason for having children.

If this family are fortunate enough to be able to run their life in this way, I applaud you.

Feminists may complain, but that shows their obsession with destroying the family instead of supporting it.

Feminists are the problem, not the answer.
