Rabbi is a true internet hero. Mocking the looks of others behind a computer. Unless he looks like Harry Reid, he probably does have no room to talk.
Man...That ruined my lunch!! 'Feminist' is a misnomer because they are women who shun their own femininity in order to be more masculine. They think somehow it gives them more power when actually it has caused them immeasurable pain. Another miserable failed product of the mental disorder called liberalism.
That's the right wing talking point, I'll give you that.
I consider myself a "feminist". I believe in equal pay for equal work; I am opposed to human trafficking and the sex trade; I deplore domestic violence and deadbeat dads and believe there should be harsher penalties; I am against discrimination when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth; and I fully support raising our daughters to be leaders or homemakers - whatever they choose to do.
NOW would reject my application on the spot if they saw my cute elephant jewelry.
Women used to know how to make a 'nest' and pick a good provider before having children. With the advent of feminism and the denigrating of 'stay-at-home' moms, both men and women are experiencing undue stresses.
I have often wondered how some women can go through 9-months of carrying a kid, go through the pain of birth THEN, blithely drop the kid off in daycare and toodle off to work.

No, it's not a "talking point." It's my own personal observation over the years. Am I wrong?

Yes.
I am a feminist. I wear makeup and shave my legs and don the occasional cute shoes for a cute date. What's a joke about wanting to be both a woman and treated as an equal, able to stand on my own two feet in or out of heels, own my own life and make my own choices....whatever they may be?
It's a different sort of feminism now thanks in large part to the older generation. But don't think it's some kind of joke simply because it has a subtler, more feminine kind of strength.
The movement did start out radical. Betty Friedan's original call to arms compared housework to animal life. In The Feminine Mystique she wrote, “[V]acuuming the living room floor -- with or without makeup -- is not work that takes enough thought or energy to challenge any woman's full capacity. ... .”
Thereafter, however, liberal feminists abandoned the judgmental starting point of the movement in favor of offering women “choices.” The choice talk spilled over from people trying to avoid saying “abortion,” and it provided an irresistible solution to feminists trying to duck the mommy wars. A woman could work, stay home, have 10 children or one, marry or stay single. It all counted as “feminist” as long as she chose it. (So dominant has the concept of choice become that when Charlotte, with a push from her insufferable first husband, quits her job, the writers at Sex and the City have her screaming, “I choose my choice! I choose my choice!”
Here's the feminist moral analysis that choice avoided: The family -- with its repetitious, socially invisible, physical tasks -- is a necessary part of life, but it allows fewer opportunities for full human flourishing than public spheres like the market or the government. This less-flourishing sphere is not the natural or moral responsibility only of women. Therefore, assigning it to women is unjust. Women assigning it to themselves is equally unjust. To paraphrase, as Mark Twain said, “A man who chooses not to read is just as ignorant as a man who cannot read.”
