This is a very dangerous sentiment to share without the constant reminder that feminism means that each woman should be able to live how they desire. It's great that women who want to be with a man who makes more money than them can do that. However wow is it dangerous to point out that what "most women want", without making this caveat.
Let's assume most men want to play sports, this while interesting is totally irrelevant with respect to my individual rights as a man to do what I want with my life. Similarly, what most women want is totally irrelevant to feminism and the rights of women. They should be able to live as they please, independent of what "most women" would like.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoThe problem comes when the majority's desires conflict with the minority's though. Supposed feminists tell me feminism is about sexual equality rather than the pie-in-the-sky notion that people can in general live as they please. If the majority actual desire things that are mutually exclusive with direct equality then it's most dangerous not to point that out, surely? Personally I'm for equality of opportunity for all.
