Feminist Claims That Women Who Dress Girly Are Victims Of Patriarchy, Gets Quickly Shut Down

Yes, it's all about having the freedom of choice and not being judged for it

That's what I always thought, it never really occurred to me that someone could be afraid to look feminine. I'm not talking about like wearing a short skirt while walking down a dark alley way but just in their day to day life.

And true left is standing for the working class... That's what all idea get when people with too much freetime and too few brain cells find them for themselves.

I would say that true feminism is having the opportunity to do whatever you want to. It is about identifying and amending structural, social, governmental, and legal barriers that will alter or inhibit what a person would otherwise aspire to. Example, women often inhibit their own professional growth unknowingly due to family planning, and men often suffer from mental illness due to the societal standard of suppressing emotions or pressure to be completely independent. It isn't always about what you want because what you want is dramatically impacted by societal norms. So it is more of an examination of societal norms and how they disproportionately impact one gender or another unfairly. I can technically walk around naked if I want, but it is societies response to my actions or behaviors that is important and society would arrest me for indecent exposure.

It is, unless you are male. Then you are to man up and do what is expected of you.

So sad that this is so rare nowadays.

It doesn't make her MORE of a woman, either. Housework or paid work, nothing makes us more or less a woman. I am a woman because I AM. Feminism has been a great blessing for me, because not only am I able to be the woman I chose to be, but also regarded as a fully-fledged member of the human race.

Terrorism feminism, that is a new phrase for me. Feminism isn't a unified theory, you have neo-liberal feminists, post-structual feminists, realist feminists, Marxist feminists, multicultural feminists, etc. There are many different ways to approach feminism, I am a realist/post-strucual feminist who disagrees with neo-liberal feminist theory. The point is that women are not a monolith and feminist theory is constantly evolving. As people try to figure it out and come to their own conclusions on what would be the best theory or policy for gender equality, we might construct views that do not fit all women or that may even be offensive to some women. As women are so diverse, when disagreement occurs it is best restrain from arguments of who is right or who is more feminist and instead try to initiate a dialog because it is very likely that there are points that were simply not understood or considered by the other due to lack of experiencing that situation.
