This is pretty much schrodinger feminism. Where they are empowered goddess and powerless victims at the same time. Where they pick and choose when they want to have feminist ideals or traditional ideas depending on the situation.

I'm sure we are all familiar with the independent boss girl who still prefer traditional masculinity meme. Where even successful and independent women still expect men to approach them, pay on dates, make more money than them, and protect them in dangerous situations.

But I would like to go deeper than just relationships preferences in this post though. I notice thier flip floppy standards are extremely common when it comes to biology, beauty, morality, and objectification. Again the whole point of this, is that they want the prestige of being a woman, without any of the traditional responsibilities. This is where the schrodinger feminism comes in.

*For example: Our Biology Makes Us Special.

I have gotten into many arguments about feminists about how men and women should be equal (how ironic). And their typical go to response is bringing up biology. Saying women can give birth, but men can't. So they are saying women are special because they can give birth. It's no different from the conservative or red pill idea of women having inherent value because they can give birth.

But on the flip side though. We are told women are more than just baby making machines. And women have purpose, outside popping out babies, and being barefeet and pregnant in the kitchen. This is when the schrodinger feminism comes in. They want the prestige of women being the gender that gets pregnant, because it's means society will assign women inherit value by default. But they hate the traditional responsibilities of women being expected to make pregnancy the only important thing in their life.

*Another example: We Are More Beautiful.

You constantly see women joke about how hideous men look. And how women are the better looking gender. They say women are wearing make up for themselves not for the attention or validation of men. It's expected for men to compliment women on their looks. So in society we are constantly told about how beautiful women are.

But on the flip side though. We are also told that women have to deal with high beauty standards from the patriarchy. And this puts tons of pressure on women to conform to society rigid standards of beauty. This is when the schrodinger feminism comes in. They want the prestige of being the gender that is the symbol of beauty in society. But they also don't want the the challenges or consequences that comes with the gender that is considered the beautiful one though.

*Another example: We Are Have Better Morality.

It's common for feminists or society in general to think women are the more nurturing and nicer gender. While men are the more violent gender. They brag about how people feel more comfortable around women. Because they can't trust men, because of how bad men are. So in society we considered women to be more better people. I.E. the "women are wonderful" affect.

But on the flip side though. We are told how women are forced to be mothers to immature boyfriends and husbands. Saying men aren't taught to be grown adults, they act like children their whole lives. And this puts pressure on women mange the actions, emotional development, and shortcomings of men. This is when the schrodinger feminism comes in. They want the prestige of being the gender that is considered "wonderful". Without being expected to always be the ones fix everything.

*Final example: We Are The Prize.

It's still normalized in society for people to see a heterosexual couple walking down the street. And considered a man lucky for having a beautiful girlfriend or wife. Without even knowing the personality of the woman, but yet they still considered the man lucky for being in the presence of a beautiful woman. So in society women are value for their looks.

But on the flip side though. Feminists complain about objectification. And how women bodies are objectified, and always sexualized. This is when the schrodinger feminism comes in. They want to be the gender that is considered the "prize" in society. But yet they don't like the objectification that comes with the gender that is considered the prize.

Now that all of the examples are done. If the genders were reversed. Men would get universally mocked for wanting the prestige of being a man, without taking on the traditional responsibilities. Because in society being a man means you have to prove yourself. So the prestige of being a man is earn in society, not given.

Even in conservative spaces they mocked red-pillers for wanting traditional women, while also wanting to have four wives and not provide for them. Online, red pill men are mocked universally (rightfully so) by all sides, for wanting the prestige of being a man without wanting the traditional responsibilities that comes with being a "real man" in society. But when it comes to women, this flip flop is more normalized in society.

It's almost similar to how male and female dating advice is different. Incels are told they are the problem, they are the reason why women don't like them, so incels are expected to prove themselves to get better In order to get women. While dating advice for women is pretty much just telling women they are perfect the way they are.

The same thing is happening with gender roles here. Men are told they need to work hard in order to get the prestige of being considered a "real man" in society. While women are told they can switch back and forth whenever they feel like it. I.E. Schrodinger Feminism.

In conclusion.

In society it's extremely normalize for women to want the prestige of being a woman in society, without wating the traditional responsibilities. But If men do the same thing. Then they are super judged harshly in society.
