[quote=Anonymous]If a MIL really understands the structural sexism of current society (lower earner paying higher taxes, etc.) and gives up the patriarchal expectations on her DIL— like she will be the social secretary and she will send cards and she will buy gifts and she will do dishes while the men talk— then she will be a better MIL. I caution that feminism is more than “supporting all choices!” because plenty of MILs will want to make choices that subordinate their DILs rather than elevating them, and a “choice feminist” argument could be made to back that up. Rather I would say a feminist empowers the other women around her and does not behave in a manner underpinned by internalized misogyny. [/quote]
