Modern feminist go on about the patriarchy and the war on women, but look down their noses at women who are very feminine. If you ask me some women have some serious self-hate going on. I thought feminism was about choice.I don't think that modern feminists hate everything feminine. But you do have a point anyway. I feel that modern feminism has failed to a great extent in Sweden, partially because it has become too influenced by quasi-political left wing radicals who are more interested in self expression than real issues. It's all about them getting attention, really. Thus they focus on mostly superficial attributes such as gender identity, clothing, speaking and acting in a PC manner, and so on. They flit from one fad issue to another, bicker among themselves and attack their own because it is easier to get a win that way.
I believe this, and big egos, was what led to the failure of the Swedish feminist party, Fi.
Perhaps something similiar is happening in the US and other countries.
In the end it doesn't really matter if you skip around in knee socks, short skirts and wear ribbons in your hair, or if you shave your hair off and wear only unisex coveralls. This will not have any real effect on equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work, violence against women, and so on and so forth.
