I do un...I agree, it should absolutely be embraced. I do understand a lot of what the writer of that article said, and it definitely seems like the kind of critique that I hear from a lot of older feminists, the ones that felt like they had to prove that women aren't weak or dumb or passive or meant to be "barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen," as the saying goes. I see how they could feel like the current generation of feminists have been defanged. However, I think that we've won a lot of the battles about women's basic equality. The new frontier is really to show that "woman's work" is just as valid as more masculine pursuits, and that's what I think the whole cupcake feminism thing is really about.

The notion that one can't have ...Goodness, yes! The notion that one can't have a hobby (or a hundred hobbies), dress as they please, live as they please, and enjoy things that are perceived as being inherently girly and still count themselves amongst the feminist ranks is flat out ludicrous in my books. After all, one might think that the very elements which are so often associated with women, historically speaking at least, like crafting and baking (cupcakes) would be points that weigh in favour of the feminist cause, not against it. If one wants to bring women together for such a just cause, then why not embrace and encourage those very things which so many ladies in the 21st century have a profound passion for?<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
