“being taken care of” is not the same as acts of service. i take care of my dog because he cannot take care of himself. my mom takes care of her dad because he cannot take care of himself. children are taken care of. i can go on. grown adults are not “taken care of” even when they receive acts of service. a man wanting to “take care of you” so you don’t have to account for your own responsibilities it inherently creates dependence. dependence creates control.

point being: i don’t necessarily have a problem w the phrasing but women don’t need to be taken care of. they need to be treated as equals. they need to be respected. and with that respect, comes acts of service derives from appreciation. like any other relationship, and it’s not “being taken care of” it’s being shown love.

“i don’t necessarily have a problem with the phrasing, but here are my two paragraphs of problems i have with the phrasing” we don’t need to be nitpicking other women for what feminism means to them. you know what she meant.

… i have a problem with actual dependence, i don’t vehemently hate the phrasing, but i do want to criticize what it can be seen as communicating to other women. hence my critique. so yeah, i am nitpicking, but i think i’ve been respectful. feminism isn’t about what it means to me or another women. it is about women’s equality & liberation. end of. if you’d like to discuss why choice feminism is harmful, feel free to explore many other women’s novels & essays on the subject.
