Fuk Beauty Duty
You cannot preach that your patriarchal duties defining femininity is a feminist act. You cannot say “Femininity is empowering”, if you’re referring to the patriarchal version of femininity-- such as makeup, shaving, wearing heels, etc.
To be a radical feminist is to attack the patriarchy from every angle. This means the patriarchal image of a woman, the patriarchal definition of femininity, the patriarchal duties for women, etc. You can NOT be a radical feminist and still cling to your makeup, still cling to your razor, still cling to “dress up”, or still enjoy being objectified.
We mustn’t allow women to be objectified, we mustn’t allow women to be defined by beauty, we mustn’t contribute to this idea! End shaving NOW, end playing dress up for men NOW, end putting on makeup NOW.
