And no...not all women were like this...but the majority were oppressed.
And everyone is a hypocrite at one point or another in their lives. That is how most change is instituted. The difference is can you own your own hypocrisy. I know I can.

damn thats deeper than atlantis.
pity it doesn't actually mean anything.
and since ur trying sooo hard to understand this i guess ill let u in on the lil gem - Feminism is about gendered inequalities, or the patriachry. Feminist theory suggests that there are traditional gender roles placed on women that culturally accepted and yet inherently inhibiting to their ability to act as a free individuals. Feminist's fight against the patriarchy which is the general social understanding of how a woman should behave. thats why they all like wear jeans and have crew cuts and stuff.
PS/ plz explain to me how "most change is instituted" [through contradictions??]
