I’m all for total equality for men and women but to me equality doesn’t mean that we’re the same.For me it would be everyone having the choice to do what they want or what makes them happiest.For some women modelling or advertising is what they enjoy.All i see from the current iteration of feminism is feminist women trying to oppress everyone.Men and other women or anyone that doesn’t agree with their particular brand.Yes i know that there are many differing feminist views but it seems that there is a current hardline and dictatorial ideology which is becoming more mainstream and tries to demonise anybody(men and women) who don’t subscribe to the narrative.
