Is it true? "How Pinterest Is Killing Feminism"

[Kalidurga]

94. I object to the entire notion that...

What women are interested in are "soft" subjects and what men are interested in is what men are interested in.

All of my girls are girly girls. And even though I am not a girly girl and never have been I never told them they shouldn't pursue their interests in fashion, decorating, or collecting recipes. I did rough house with them and do things with them that some would say are masculine things, for the most part they didn't object. I did object quite a bit when they tried make overs and stuff on me. But, I tolerated that to a degree as well not wanting to hurt their feelings too much. But, I am not going to be one of those put on make up everyday persons. I did dress up some for my youngest daughters graduation recently and I own some dresses. But, it would never occur to me to blast a woman for having a closet full of dresses and no pants or jeans or whatever or blast a woman for being interested in cooking. That is what is degrading to women. Blasting them for whatever it is that they are interested in. We don't do this to men so much unless they are viewed as being too girly, I haven't done this. But, I have been out and about so to speak and men really can't do things that look girly without some kind of snide comment from somewhere. We really just need to lay off of people. Let people do whatever it is they want to do, unless it is violent or is likely to hurt them.

Also, anyone who has ever dieted knows that dieting is not for sissies.
