Why don't feminists want to be women ?

@graphite That's capitalism, not feminism.

@CrazyMusicLover Yes, to an extent - gives the businesses a whole new pool of labor, thus driving down actual wages. But there is a school of thought among some feminists to keep women from becoming mothers/homemakers. "In 1976, the French feminist icon Simone de Beauvoir said, “No woman should be authorized to stay home to raise her children. Women should not have that choice, because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one.”

@graphite I think that's one school of thought that was active in previous century but nowadays it seems like most feminists stress the freedom of choice for women to lead their lives how they feel is the best for them.

@graphite You are correct.

@CrazyMusicLover not really. Feminism now insists on " beating men at their game".

@revenant Many women have been duped into putting off pairing up for life until well past their prime fertility years, when they then have to compete with more fertile, more attractive 20somethings for the most-viable men. Nice move, feminism.

@graphite yes that is true ! but then I do not think all women want children. I think we are all composed of energies : masculine and feminine and we have each at different degrees.

@revenant A lot that do want children believe the feminist lie that it can happen any old time. While some who wait until 35+ won't have a problem with fertility, others have to resort to egg retrieval, IVF, etc - expensive, invasive procedures with low success rates. Or surrogacy - have someone else carry the baby. Anyway, waiting that long and being successful still means dealing with teenagers and 20somethings possibly into your 60s when you should otherwise be sitting poolside. Forget that resort vacation - college tuition is due.
