On one level, the tweet by Democratic former actress Alyssa Milano is a perfect example of how easy and vacuous much of today’s feminism is.
To see how empty this argument is, just do the handy old trick of reversing the roles. If Milano overheard my wife tell our oldest daughter, “Take care of your dad while I’m gone,” the actress-turned-activist could just as easily tweet: “Can we stop saying to our daughters things like: ‘take care of your father while I’m gone.’ This is insinuating that women have to spend all their time caring for men. And it’s bullshit.”

Either way you assign the roles, it’s sexism!
