I think you didn't understand what I meant. It was not about your wife agreeing to birthing person. It was about her agreeing to a being that cooks, keeps the house, gives birth to babies, feeds the family, obeys her husband, is a sex hole and so on. And, from what you say about her, she doesn't. And, in this case, I'm happy to feel that you are OK with it.
In my everyday life, I don't see feminism stating that all men are evil or that all men are rapists. This is reserved to the most radical factions inside feminism. What I hear the most is more like "even today, some (maybe most) men think they own their wives and can do whatever they want to/with them, no matter what the women think". This is what mosts feminists I had the chance to talk to are trying to fight against. They want these women to have a choice.
If a woman consciously agrees — not because of religion, culture or whatever — that she really wants to be a "baby birther", a "housewife" or whatever, feminism doesn't — and shouldn't — have nothing against it.
Unfortunately, the most radicals inside each movement or group are the most heard these days (always?). And they are usually the smallest part of their movement/group.
