[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think now in our culture we have 2 kinds of women:

1. Feminists. These are the girls who grew up believing that traditional gender roles were arbitrary and socially enforced. They went to top colleges and professional programs. They are doctors and lawyers and did not quit their careers once the children came along. They work because they want to. They pursue their career and intellectual passions and enjoy the pay and intellectual parity it brings them with men.

2. Feminists  by necessity. These are lower income women who partake in a feminist lifestyle because of necessity. Since the major cornerstone of feminism is the idea that women need to be self sufficient and have access to economic opportunity, they live that out every day. They earn a decent paycheck, they contribute to their mortgage and bills.

3. Anti-feminists. These girls were never truly raised to believe they can be whatever they wanted to be. For some reason, traditional gender norms were reinforced to them. They went to school, sure,but only because they had to. They even became doctors or lawyers because these days, thats just what some do. Work or study until you find a man to take care  of you. They can be high income or low in come by for whatever reason they deeply believe that housework is women's work. The achievement here isn't to get a JD from Harvard. Its to land a man with a big wallet. That way they have their JD from Harvard AND a rich husband. They're usually very braggy about this.

Now, its good and fine if women want to be in category 3. Just, please don't call yourselves "feminists" too. Because, honestly, no, you're not a feminist. You are not financially independent or self sufficient and you partake in traditionally gender roles.

You just made me LOL for real. If you really think this, I can tell that you have a *very* narrow, intolerant worldview. You must be very young to have so little experience of the world. You need to check your privilege double quick. People are dealing with ALL kinds of circumstances behind the scenes - SN kids, dying parents, depression, traveling spouses, sexual discrimination, abusive bosses, etc. etc. - that you know nothing about. Since you know nothing about these circumstances, it would be smart to keep your judgey mouth SHUT. I can tell that you're not that bright though.[/quote]

Typical angry AA woman.[/quote]
