Feminism is not a monolithic thing but as rent by infighting, factionalism, and very very different ideas about what feminism means as any other political movement. I broadly and enthusiastically agree with much of it, and find aspects of it awful and partially responsible for driving people to actual fascism.

Most women I know who have done boudoir photos aren't doing so for the male gaze but rather for their own. They want to feel beautiful and sexy. All sorts of very complicated and contradictory reasons why behind that, but on the face of it, it's fairly simple.
