I will start off by saying that I must admit, I thought of feminism to be just as Dr. Krouse described in her book and in the first paragraph. However, as a female, and an aspiring writing, and potential (probable) wife and mother, and current girlfriend, I do not want to be tied down to these ideals of a nurturing, “at-your-service”, yes woman. Granted, I still want to be beautiful, I love make up and being blond, I also want to be respected.
I also think that it is important especially as a twenty year old female to be able to say that, no, I do not like kids, that I support abortion, but I still have the ability to change these thoughts as I get older.
But as I write and learn, I think it is necessary to know where this all came from. It is important to think of theses factors when reading texts. So rather than attacking males, or the stereotypes that try to drag us down, we should embrace what it means to be female and how far we’ve really come.
