I think you’re skipping over a key part of the argument. The issue is only partly about age. The bigger factor in my mind is how women have adopted traditional male behavior and defined it as empowerment.

I never saw feminism’s main objective as encouraging females to behave as badly as males have for centuries. I always thought the point was prove that women were as capable as men when placed in similar circumstances. At the heart of it, women shouldn’t be judged just for being women.

My biggest concern is that the question of stupidity aside, women are failing to realize that regardless of the freedom to behave badly, they will still be judged by a stricter measurement than men. An attitude of “boys will be boys” still exists. The equivalent behavior perpetuated by a woman will be judged more harshly.

I once suggested that feminism was an evil invention of a male actuary at the IRS (those greedy #$@s) who “discovered” that if it is desirable for women to work and earn money, dual incomes will result, and therefore double tax revenue.

Imagine him presenting the idea to his male superiors:
What if females could be tricked into thinking that work is the only way for them to advance, that an equal wage is some holy grail, and that ONLY numerical equivalence will validate them? Could we control them by simply “moving the cheese”?
