Women Are Finally Calling Out The “Toxic Femininity” Perpetuated By Other Women

“Definitely this. They are claiming that women being independent and embodying anything other than the soft, delicate, feminine archetype is just a consequence of men’s failure to be a masculine provider; that if you find a strong man to ‘lead’ you, you’ll naturally fall into line and submit to him like you’re supposed to! It’s liberating!

Like, by all means, do whatever feels authentic for yourself, but don’t try to convince me that I’d actually want to be submissive if my husband were masculine enough. It’s just another way to push traditional gender roles under the guise of female empowerment. “
