(16,623 posts)Just because some idiot is ready, willing and able to give up HER rights does not mean any of the rest of us are willing. Most of us fought too hard to have the few, remaining rights we have.
Being a feminist merely means that you believe women are equals to men. Deserving of equal respect and equal responsibility. This person doesn't have to burn her bra, or have a career, or be on top during sex if she chooses not to.
But she DOES need to allow other women their own choices and stop mocking anyone who might disagree with her. If she wants to be the submissive little idiot, that's her choice and she's entitled to that choice. But she can live with the responsibility of that choice, too.
And when she's popped out ten kids and hubby decides he wants a younger model and leaves her to support those kids without much education, work experience, etc., then she needs to deal with that.
I don't think anyone wants to argue with me that it doesn't happen that way either, because I've seen it happen too many times.
