Is it true? "How Pinterest Is Killing Feminism"

[Tsiyu]

98. "do we work on the self or on society"

I guess all the individual selfs make up the society, so doing either or both or none will have an effect on both.

From a personal perspective, I can say that as a child, many of my interests were not in keeping with what my family thought was appropriate for a child of my gender.

Later, I would face the same attitude from some teachers. There were clearly defined gender roles in their minds, and I deviated from them.

In my case, I was stubborn and did what I wanted anyway, but weaker individuals might have been shamed by the pressure to conform. Also, funds were not available for my gender's sports that were made available for the other gender's sports programs, and I feel I suffered as a result. There was no such discrepancy when the other gender wanted to take courses society defined as strictly for my gender. They were free to take the courses I took.

Over the years I have seen vast changes in the way we accommodate those who "deviate" from gender-specific roles and activities.

To prove that one gender might be more inclined to pick "A" as an activity in no way also proves that it is not harmful to prevent the other gender from also picking "A."

Apples and oranges, in my view.

Work on self and society.
