Is it true? "How Pinterest Is Killing Feminism"

24. It isn't suggesting they are "bad"

Just that the reason they are traditionally feminine interests is because it benefits the patriarchy for women to do them.

And I'm a stay-at-home mom who pins recipes, and a feminist, so I'm not calling anyone out or anything, just the issue isn't that anything is bad, or that the women who do it are bad. It's only that the reason these are the roles we so overwhelmingly fall into is because of the patriarchy. And that the reason men so often fall into the roles they fall into - often the sole breadwinner, with all the stress involved, etc. - is also due to the patriarchy. The ideal would be for people to naturally fall into whatever interest they have with no tendency to fall into traditional masculine or feminine roles. Obviously some women would still be interested in homemaking, and some men would still be interested in high pressure jobs, but hopefully people wouldn't have the societal push into those roles and everyone who chose them would only due to their own interests.

Anyway, I don't think it's an issue of good or bad.
