  • To me, feminism isn't about the raising up of women to be equal to men, it's about the raising up of femininity to be equal to masculinity, so we can all access a full range of human expression.

    • yeah, ironically femmephobia seems common among self-described feminist women, as though the way to be a good feminist is to shed femininity as chains. (Unfortunately I was one of those femmephobic feminists, for a period - Julia Serano is who cured me of that.)

      though I certainly wouldn't want to call feminism just the process of making femininity equal to masculinity (reproductive rights after all are feminist but not about femininity), I think it's important to call out the need for taking femininity seriously as a part of feminism

      • You are totally right, its not an all-encompassing definition. It is a good sound-bite, especially for people who feel like they don't benefit (or even lose something) from feminism.
