something about this rubs me the wrong way… I support the bit about only marrying if you want to but the expectation of a “fulfilling” career strikes me as really middle (to upper) class and kind of entitled (with the admission that I mean, this is a thing I want too). the fact is it strikes me as extremely unlikely that everyone will be able to find a job they find personally fulfilling while simultaneously all the jobs our society calls for are fulfilled. there are fewer “spots” in a lot of professions than there are people interested in them. and any fix for that would involve a drastic restructuring of society that I don’t see wished for here. If you’re giving someone a fulfilling career that rests on the assumption that other people will clean up after them.
TL;dr it’s a feminist fairytale that shows why some people find *f*eminism so alienating.
