I think "whatever a woman chooses to do is feminist on account of the fact that she's a woman" did awful things for the movement. I really do.
#for one being a woman does not equate to being a feminist#there's a lot of unlearning and deprogramming that goes into being a feminist bc we really do#live in a patriarchal society. like i don't think you guys understand it's not just a buzzword the world really#is androcentric. so it's like is every choice really inherently feminist bc a woman made it?#is it feminist to go through with an unwanted pregnancy bc the woman chose so (she had no access to safe abortion)#is it feminist to choose prostitution (she's an eastern european woman who signed a contract in german not knowing#prostitution was going to be in the requirements because she was assured of a good job and doesn't speak the language)#is it feminist to choose to spend $$$ and time on often painful beauty rituals (she feels like she is not presentable without having done#them and feels self-conscious and distracted as a result)#like think with your brain a little deeper sometimes and ask yourself where this choice comes from#and ask yourself how come so little men choose the same if your choice is so empowering and awesome#because remember kids! if something in this world is truly empowering - men will make it a male-dominated area soon#it happened to IT already and now suddenly it's considered women are incapable of it as if women weren't pioneers in the field
