Has the price of the womens' movement been at the expense of femininity?
I see no reason why June Cleaver couldn't have been the CEO of Mobil Exxon instead of Ward Cleavers' stay-at-home wife. Is todays' woman obligated to hawk, scratch, spit and cuss like man to be a success? Aren't women more than guys without dicks? IMO, most women today are not feminine.
How feminine are you?

There was no catergory for a what.

They have to shave their mustaches before they can be feminine. Then, the men are more feminine than the women.

The DU men probably think this question is for them.

Odd. I think a woman can act however she wants to without anyone dicKtating it.
Suck it! :evilbird:

All you have to do is look at them to know that. Not one of them is good looking enough to have anyone of the opposite sex remotely interested in them. They are the most hideous looking bunch ever. They would have to be gay to get any "Interaction" to satisfy them.
On another note: We are tied with the Hi5's, Gina :-)

Only for liberal womyn. The majority of conservative ladies are feminine and look that way most of the time. That is not to say that they can't get down and dirty and do what needs to be done.

I took into account the source of the quote ie: dummies & feminazies. Not that they had any femininity to begin with.

That's why they hate conservative women - they look good and they don't have the deep bitterness of leftists.
I was born and raised under Margaret Thatcher, she's always struck me as the epitome of what the leftists dislike.

I'm guessing she was too batshit crazy for the mental ward and they kicked her out. :fuelfire: :fuelfire:
My 2 cents: She needs to be locked up at the zoo.

This is why your side will lose the whole war on everything that you started. You really don't want a woman to choose. Be it abortion, what they decide to do with their lives or political party they identify with. Blacks, hispanics and women have the right to choose, as long as you approve of their choice. If they don't they are labeled sell outs or worse.
People are getting tired of other people telling them how they should feel and act.

You know who’s hurting women? Rich women like Ann Romney
POSTED AT 8:01 PM ON JUNE 16, 2012 BY JAZZ SHAW
I’d like to confess right up front that I follow Elizabeth Wurtzel on Twitter. But in my own defense, a lot of people from the conservative side of the aisle do as well. And I originally thought she might have been my good friend Nathan Wurtzel’s sister or something. That’s why I was more than a little surprised when I saw the following headline.
1% Wives Are Helping Kill Feminism and Make the War on Women Possible
When my mind gets stuck on everything that is wrong with feminism, it brings out the 19th century poet in me: Let me count the ways. Most of all, feminism is pretty much a nice girl who really, really wants so badly to be liked by everybody — ladies who lunch, men who hate women, all the morons who demand choice and don’t understand responsibility — that it has become the easy lay of social movements. I am going to smack the next idiot who tells me that raising her children full time — by which she really means going to Jivamukti classes and pedicure appointments while the nanny babysits — is her feminist choice. Who can possibly take feminism seriously when it allows everything, as long as women choose it? The whole point to begin with was that women were losing their minds pushing mops and strollers all day without a room or a salary of their own.
It goes rather pear shaped from that point on, and you can draw your own conclusions, but this was the one portion which really jumped up and grabbed me later in the article.
I have to admit that when I meet a woman who I know is a graduate of, say, Princeton — one who has read The Second Sex and therefore ought to know better — but is still a full-time wife, I feel betrayed. I’m not much of a moralist — I have absolutely no right to be — but in the interest of doing what’s right both for me personally and for women generally, I have been strict with myself about earning my keep. For the longest time I would not date anyone who would now be called a one-percenter because money and power are such a potent combination, and if I am going to be bossed around, I don’t want that to be the reason. When it’s come up, I have chosen not to get married. Over and over again, I have opted for my integrity and independence over what was easy or obvious. :whatever: And I am happy. liar I don’t want everyone to live like me, (again liar) but I do expect educated and able-bodied women to be holding their own in the world of work. (why?)
I’m sorry, but this type of atitude is precisely, as I see it, what keeps setting independent women back. It goes back to that entire generation of trying to put everyone into a specific pigeon hole and the idea that one person’s idea of what a woman “should do†defines whether they are on the right side or the wrong side. I’m married to a wonderful woman who has been both a full and part time worker and a full time, stay at home wife. I’ve encouraged her to follow her dreams and share her life with me, whether that is working and bringing in money or working to build our home and our life. If she makes her own choices in this, is she not the real feminist in the bunch?
And when it comes to disparaging mothers who happen to be well enough off to afford help with taking care of the house and the children, this is somehow a disqualifier? Wasn’t that one of the benefits of succeeding and allowing yourself to multi-task, taking on charity work, a job or any other endeavors you found worth your time?
Speaking from the fully unqualified position of those not having a womb, I have to say that this sort of thinking isn’t helping anyone. And women who talk about “choice†for women need to realize that choices go both ways and cover many more issues than just childbirth and voting.
Looks like Elizabeth needs validation.

Screw you, DUmmies! Mrs. Tantal is exquisitely feminine. Gorgeous, smart, funny, well-educated, and makes more money than I do. However, she is willing to submit herself to a righteous man who thinks that she is no less than an absolute Godess and who loves her more than anything on this earth. Basically, she has what you rug-munching hags WISH you had.

The fems movement had quite a bit to do with the erasure of femininity and, predictably, the DUmmies won't admit it.
I've worked in traditionally male professions almost all my life. I've also been a Mother, sewed clothing, baked bread, and all the other traditionally female things.
I never once shed my femininity when I donned my work uniforms and steel toed boots. But, the fems would have a woman believe that it was a requirement in order to be able to do the job. They pushed for woman to look and act like men and heaped disdain on any woman who resisted their ideal.
The fems did nothing for me. I did what I had and wanted to do without sacrificing a speck of the God-given blessings of my gender. I don't want to be a man, have never wanted to be a man. I'm grateful for being born a woman!

Because conservative women are rebels. We reject the status quo and think for ourselves. I don't need a male, a politician, a pseudo feminist on a bicycle who's propped up by rich husbands, or an angry lesbian who's pissed off, apparently because she has a vagina she won't be able to abort a baby through, to tell me what to do with my womb, who to vote for, what my opinion on every issue should be and what the politically correct words of the minute are. Oh, and we shower everyday so there's that.
