Who cares what you think - or what I think? Who are you or anyone to define what these women do or want - and then weakly try to appeal to authority by assigning your opinions the words "actual feminine virtues"? Many men used to define those 'virtues' as not working, voting, having an opinion, and as being obedient, sexy, and sexually available to them (but not to other men!) - how convenient!

> sexualized female body

So? Does it intimidate you? Should they hide or show their bodies based on what you prefer, or on what you think is right? Who the f- are you (or I) to have an opinion on what they should do. Should I have an opinion on what you do?

Meanwhile, women fight wars, run countries and corporations. They don't post much on Hacker News - look at this discussion of men saying what women should do, just like the old days. I wonder why we don't see more women here?



re-framing traditional feminine virtues (those things that most women are good at and enjoy, and which make families stronger and society flourish) as worth less than traditional masculine virtues is offensive to a lot of people, and is itself an appeal to an extremist ideology

Which people? And so what if they are offended? These women should change what they do because you don't like it? Again, who are you (or I) or these putative offended people to tell these women what to do?

> traditional feminine virtues

Which don't exist, except in the minds of the people who want to control what other people do.

> worth less than traditional masculine virtues

Who compared anything between whatever you think masculine and feminine are?

> an appeal to an extremist ideology

So women working, getting educations, living independently of men, living their lives they way they please - that is extremist?


> So? Does it intimidate you? Should they hide or show their bodies based on what you prefer, or on what you think is right?

Millions of years of evolution went in to get them that body, and similar number of years of evolution for me to have that reaction seeing that body.

No, I am not going to join in the collective delusion that this stuff isn't real, or socially created or can be turned off at will.
