Did Fox News accidentally use a picture of a same-sex couple in a piece on traditional gender roles?
Oopsie ...
Feminism is not about degrading men or replacing them. It is about, at its core, giving women their right to self determinization. It is saying that a woman has the right to decide how to live her life and not her father, mother, husband or children. Those people have great influence and importance but they do NOT decide. Thus, a woman can decide to be a homemaker and still be a feminist because SHE decided that that is what is best for her life. Of course, she will make that choice with those she loves in mind and may not make the choice that benifits her the most but she is not FORCED to do what is expected by others.
Of course it has to do with owning property, voting and other basic rights men have always had (or if they didnt have them as a group then almost no one did, like voting) but, at its simplest, its just "I decide what I do".
I had to look at the picture several times before I could tell that there were 2 women in it because the woman in the suit looks quite manly. So, she appears to be pre-operative transgender female -> male than "gay." If she were accepting of her female gender, than she would've been wearing women's clothes, not a man's tuxedo!!! In fact, it illustrates the point that women are accepting of men's roles, even in relationships, to the extent that they are even dressing like men!
No "gotcha" moment here.
