All the girlies on the internet talking about how they want a "masculine man" who lets them "stay in their feminine energy" need to read Judy Brady Syfer's extraordinary feminist essay, "I Want a Wife."
It's very easy to dismiss these women as anti-feminist tradfems. But if you actually listen to what they want, it's clear that they are using anti-feminist language to make very feminist requests.
They want husbands that aren't manchildren. They want to be loved and cared for by a man the way women are expected to love and care for men. They don't want to have to work "the second shift," sacrificing any personal happiness or fulfillment in life to be both the financial breadwinner and the primary caregiver to both their children and their husbands.
Actually listen to what they think a "masculine man in his masculine energy" is and it's just a functional adult. Listen to what they think a "feminine woman in her feminine energy is," and it's just a woman with free time and hobbies. There's some anti-feminist set dressing about traditional gender roles but that's the real meat of the issue.
They are women who see the problem for exactly what it is. But they come to the wrong conclusion about what causes it. They don't realize that their foremothers, who were trapped in the home and dependent on these men, had the exact same complaints. They had the same problems, they just had no way to solve or avoid them.
You don't need to be "in your feminine energy," babe, you need a fucking break.
