I obviously didn't explain myself enough. She stops being a feminist when she forces her beliefs onto another woman. That's a loss of equality. The equal right to believe what you believe and stick to it.
I've never heard that highly gendered speech. I've always been told that I'll achieve whatever I want if I work hard enough, if I stick to my guns and my desires. I've never been told that all I'll be is an ornament and all of that stuff should be left to the boys. And none of my friend's or classmates have been told that either. We're pretty lucky. Or we have the capability to see through all the bull shit that world throws at us.
I've never said a damn thing about not respecting her. I have a fiery passionate hate for her view points, but I still respect her, as a person. So let's toss that argument out the window.
Simply put, feminism is letting woman make their own choices about what they want their life to be. From abortion, career (CEO to stay at home mothers), and the relationships in their life. It is about allowing, no ensuring, that a woman . . . ALWAYS . . . have the right to dictate her life. Without any interference from society, friends, or family.
Let me cut this short. I'd suggest that you stop generalizing me. Based on one god damn and admittedly not very well explained point of view. All though you could say the same to me too.
