I Feel Like A Bad Feminist When I’m In A Relationship

Okeeeeey,

Feminism describes a system of thought applicable to society at large. Being a boss that gives paid leave for surgeries but not for pregnancy makes you a bad feminist because a) your position of power in the described situation and b) the treatment of pregnancy as less legitimate than a physical incapacity.

Feminism doesn’t much care what two individuals of adult consent do with each other in their relationships.

And if I may suggest some reads into intersectionality or care-giving gaps or the excellent push by the Gates foundation to simply quantify female labor.
