History of Feminism

(7,237 posts)It's like a virtual locker room, complete with congratulatory backslapping and high fiving and a crew of simpering cheerleaders collecting their "woo hoo, you go girl" accolades.
Amazing to watch the myriad of ways objections are twisted and mischaracterized. The ones that are most funny to me are the ones that try to make out that objections are somehow anti-feminist and in some way slamming on the "choice" of the 3 women in the photo.
That is some funny ass shit right there... objecting to objectification is "anti-feminist".
Dear lurkers and HOF spies -- any choice any woman somewhere makes is not a "feminist" choice, just because a woman chose it.
In real life, when I criticize women's choices, I frequently hear "but isn't feminism about women's freedom of CHOICE???"
Sure it is, as long as we are clear that EVERY SINGLE CHOICE IS NOT A FEMINIST CHOICE JUST BECAUSE A WOMAN CHOSE IT.
