Many feminists give up their femininity as one of their first actions for the cause.
They throw out the four-inch stiletto pumps, hairspray, lipstick and whatever else patriarchal society spews forth in order for women to fit its feminine ideal. I think that's great. I understand the significance of this act. It isn't that you want to be less of a woman, the fact of the matter is that you want to work less at looking like a woman. This is wonderful.
