I completely agree with everything you say here, and have to add that women do it too, if not WORSE than the men.
I wear makeup, shave my legs, dress pretty...and am a house wife.
I have not sold out, I have chosen things that made me happy. I actually have been told by a "feminist" that I personally have set the movement back about 60 years because I cow to AJ's patriarchal gender roles. People who really know me understand this is laughable, but in essence, the whole equality movement it that women want the same choices as men, not pigeon holes.
So to have a bunch of bitches sit around and talk shit on me because I look mainstream (most days) is just as shitty as having a guy do it, if not more so for me. They don't get to see how empowered I am, because they don't know me, and they simply judge based on a quick glance. That is stupid.
