And then there are the women who are complete hypocrites. They would never iron their boyfriend/husbands shirt, yet they expect doors to be held open for them. I'm not saying that a woman should do X, Y, or Z, but if they reject everything that was traditionally a woman's roll, they need to reject everything that was traditionally done as a courtesy to women-- or at the very least not expect it.
nice post. i too am all for equal rights and opportunities. but many feminists/feminist ideas i've encountered seem to want not social equality between genders, but just more for females (and seemingly without limit, as in your example)
