If I recall correctly, women’s lib was originally about women having choices in their lives. Choices to be a stay at home mother, choices to work outside the home and have a career, choices to live their lives as they saw fit. Not being forced into some stereotypical role.

But then women’s lib morphed into something else. Now there is the expectation that women will not put marriage and family at the center of their lives, but instead, have that professional career. And be liberal in her politics.

As I recall, the goal was that women would be able to have careers and combine with motherhood, or just be a stay at home mother, but whatever she did, a woman would have a choice in how she lived her life. And all choices would be honored by feminist theory. But today, the women’s movement is all about liberalism and eschewing traditional marriage and family life.

Today's Feminazis are only pro-choice if the choice is to abort.
