Yeah, well, YMMV.

False. There are tons of resources available for anyone with even a moderate understanding of using a search engine (which, anymore, is just about everyone in the US, and certainly every troll commenting on this story), not to mention the great feminist classics and feminist readers that give you a huge overview of

You clearly don't know shit about feminism. Do you also expect the people who suffer daily from our systemic racist culture to hold your hand and patiently explain what racism means and why it's important to fight against it? If you don't, you need to do some soul-searching. If you do, good riddance.

Lol. Yeah, all the feminist theorists in the US and in Europe that have been publishing for the past half-century have just been writing anecdotal mishmashes of their feelings. You're right.

I mean, "cess pool"? Sure, it smells like actual shit a lot of the time, but New York is undeniably awesome. ;)

But we can dream!!!

You have to remember that women have, for centuries, been seen as property to trade for political and/or monetary reasons, and an independent woman (if she ever existed) was a direct threat to this patriarchal order. I'm glad you feel the way you do, and I'm sure a lot of men (not commenters on this site

I agree. I think it is a mainstream thing, since in my relationship I'm more of the stereotypical "power" part of the couple, and my partner has zero issues with it and respects me for it. But the media goes out of its way to paint high-achieving, ambitious women as spinsters grasping at straws, with nothing to come
