Since the rise of feminism in the 1970s, the movement’s ideas have consistently experienced several shifts and changes.  When feminism first came strong on the rise, women felt compelled to liberate themselves from the objective demands of man. Braless, makeup-less, and high heel-less, women supporting the feminist movement gave up on what society had always considered “feminine.” Women using power tools and wearing suits became a new way of empowerment, but only for the sake of making a point: that they could live up to the role of a man.  Feminism is supposed to be about the support of femininity, so why has it so often revolved around the denial of it?
