This does seem to be similar in belief to everyday feminists I know..... if a feminine character is put in any role other than equal, they call foul. This includes showing a dark, manipulative side. Some feminists don't want female characters to appear to be "evil", to manipulate, or to use or take advantage of people.
By evil, do you mean like a "femme fatale" or simply a female character who happens to be a villain? I think I know a few who fit the latter without fitting the former...
I love it when women are girly or evil, as long as ALL women aren't portrayed that way. I'm very happy to recognize that both males and females behave this way.
Then again, I also think Judd Apatow films are funny.
I'm not one of the crazy feminists and I don't want to be associated with them. I don't know if those feminists are all NFJs and NTs or what, but it seems really preposterous and idealistic and "politically correct." I don't like it when feminists can't relate to women who aren't like themselves (for example, feminists who are more girly in their gender and maybe submissive in their sexual preferences, or who want to be stay-at-home-moms).
Feminism to me is about equality and respect. That is all. Hell, that can be hard enough to get in and of itself without having all of these other creepy little demands.
Bolded: Why NTs and NFJs specifically? Just curious.
Underlined: I remember another F!Secret about this - one poster there in particular said that, nowadays, being a housewife - a "career" that leaves you with nowhere to go in case of divorce and makes you financially dependant on someone else - is no longer viable... But I suppose that's beyond the scope of the thread. Sorry for the digression.
