This is me just putting a comment I made as a post because I thought it was a good topic.

In what other ways do you think feminism has hurt women?

in my personal opinion, women are just looking for ways to be oppressed at this point.

I recently saw a YouTube video where a lady was talking about the "internalized male gaze" which was basically her blaming the patriarchy for them wanting to be attractive and them wanting to find other women attractive.

She even went as far as to say " sometimes I look at things like a strong jawline and muscles and can't help finding it attractive it's crazy how much women have been programmed to find attraction physically as men do"

and a whole lot of other women were agreeing with her in the comments.

it's sad because from where I sit it seems to me feminism is brainwashing women into thinking they need to be perfect and that their natural desires are somehow the result of the patriarchy.

as far as I'm concerned stuff like this is one of the biggest way feminism has hurt women.

it has convinced women that they themselves and life, in general, should be perfect ( kids a great husband, and an amazing job to boot) making a whole lot of women dissatisfied with their lives themselves and the world in general.

it's like feminism wants to mass-produce depression.
