[quote=Anonymous]Yeah no.  You and that comic can fuck right off.

You don't get to hold up ideals that only YOU agree with for women and damn expressions of womanhood that you think are old fashioned or whatever.

You don't get to talk about freedom of choice and equality for women out of one side of your mouth and then judge women who enjoy looking pretty and taking the time to look their best out of their other.

If you were really a feminist you would recognize that the whole point is about freedom to choose.  And not just to be able to compete on the same level as men or to show men that women are just as capable and deserving of respect.

If a woman chooses to have children, if a woman chooses to wear a full face of makeup, if a woman chooses to wear the hijab, if a woman chooses to leave her career to support her partner and care for her family, you should applaud that just as loudly as a woman who chooses to focus on her career, to fight on the front lines, to remain child-free, to go bare faced, to reject shit like tampons and embrace things like menstrual cups and period panties.

Feminism is about equality of choice.  Either you support it for everyone or you are just as big of a problem as the systemic sexism you're fighting against.
