express my feminist ideals more

Hi loving each day,
I don’t think there’s anything wrong AT all about wanting to feel more feminine. In fact, it’s a great thing to feel however, I think the issue here is “do you feel typecast, or forced to do these things because you’re a woman.” I mean, if you enjoy shoe shopping, then no problem, why not. But if your boyfriend EXPECTS you to cook dinner for him BECAUSE your a woman, then yes, there’s a problem there. Don’t get me wrong though, I cook dinner for my boyfriend all the time too but, he cooks me dinner too and it isn’t because I feel obligated to, it’s because I want to and enjoy doing it from time to time. Keep doing the things you enjoy doing. If you start feeling obligated to do something, THEN you should think twice about it. Also, in my opinion, it’s very restricting to think of things as what women are supposed to like and what men are supposed to like. Do what you like doing and try not to limit yourself with old fashioned gender roles. You’ll get a whole lot more out of the activity. I mean, that’s a big time issue of feminism… the right to do what you want to do without shame or restrictions. Besides the diy handmade craft revolution wouldn’t have gotten so strong if we all steered away from, say, sewing because it’s typically a woman’s thing. We craft because we love to craft, not because we have to craft. I hope I helped you out a bit, loving each day. take care!
