I agree with what you're saying about men, that is absolutely true especially your reference to Sex and the City. I also agree with you mostly about feminism, although I have to say that my mother was genuinely happy being a wife and mother, loved to cook and was proud of it, baked cupcakes for us to bring to school on our birthdays (that's probably not allowed anymore) and she was always there when we needed her. Feminism never achieved what they said was their goal, i.e., to hring the feminine perspective or "touch" to the workplace, politics, government and thus humanize those venues (at least that was the argument in the 70s). Because we were and still are dealing in stereotypes, the opposite happened. Women became more like what we consider men to be, they became more like the stereotypical man, i.e., aggressive bullies (which most of the men I know pre and post feminism never were). In a strange way Feminism has actually been a compliment (not complement) to the Masculine, they all want to be the way they think we are. So the Masculine is still the normative standard, whether they like it or not. BobinCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349641483981235572noreply@blogger.com
