O.o I thought the 3rd wave feminists were supposed to be more inclusive and not concentrate on a specific Ideal of femininity? Or have I got that mixed up? Being a gay man out in the middle of the great white north I'm pretty new to the world of feminism. Up until recently I thought we'd settled all this with female suffrage in 1919. It makes me sad that we're still fighting these battles even now.

That probably means that they're right

Um...that who's right? The artwork lists two different opinions. What I wasn't sure to respond to was how they were listed.

I think people often confuse criticizing how capitalism, racism and sexism influence female "choices" with criticizing women who have "no choice," but to conform out of a need to survive in an unequal system as shaming. Which it is not.

I'm a feminist.
And yeah, this is pretty much a fair rap.

I wish people would simply realize that the EXPECTATIONS we place on women are one of the basic roots of misogyny. And EXPECTING the opposite of what the patriarchal society expects does nothing to help. The woman who goes to work should not be shamed, but neither should the woman who wants to stay and home and bring up her children. If we expect her to do one or the other, then we've stripped her of her of her choices and left her exactly where she began. What we need to do (among other things, of course) is break down the expectations of gender roles and let people--men and women and everyone in between--to fill the the roles in society that THEY want to, free of conditioning, shame, and judgement.

Im sorry but a lot of expectations are placed on men, just look at 99% of the movies with a male hero.

Read the comment again. I'm not fond of straw men or of repeating myself.
