Feminism is divided in radical and liberal feminism. What each one of them believes sometimes varies, but there are certain traits that are easy to pick up. There are radical feminists that believe women can't be happy as housewives, for example. There are even some to consider penetration as a form of submission/oppression. Liberal feminism acknowledges that each women is an individual and that we should not restrict ourselves to customary gender roles if it's not in our best interest. Whether we are nuns, whores, business women or housewives, we should be making our personal choices by being reminded of our autonomy.
I'm not a great liberal feminist because I'm a little judgmental of submission kinks, as I think they open doors for bigger problems (such as the objectification said women, etc.) but I'm not against it either, so to speak.
So in summary, I agree with such principles:
- There is male privilege, since males occupy most positions power.
- Gender roles should not be promoted because:
- Every woman is an individual. And if they're simple/non-ambitious it's probably because they were raised in environments that conditioned them to be confined in their own gender. Much like some blacks are ghetto because... Well, they live in ghettos.
That was well articulated.
However, I'm curious about your thoughts on gender roles. What type of man appeals to you, if you don't mind me asking? Just soaking up information for continued convo.
