Seeing the state of young women and teenage girls today breaks my heart. All the progress Second Wave feminism did is being obliterated by new "feminism" that pushes gender identity ideology based on the worst and most harmful patriarchal gender stereotypes.
Girls are being taught adopting a "whore" archetype is emancipation while it sets them back to the time when women could get financial security or social recognition only by trading their sexual services for it. Whether it was concubinage or queendom (for reproductive purposes) it was women's sexuality that constituted her whole identity.
Now again, through hypersexualization, glamorizing prostitution and porn industry, this archetype is celebrated as emancipation. As if there's nothing more to being born a woman.
I struggled with those stereotypes my whole life. They made my life hell; I hated myself the moment I realized what it meant to be a woman in this society.
During my teenage years when I started listening to grunge and metal (and that music became my life) I, just as other girls, was seen as "fake". Girls were always "fake" because they did it "to appeal to boys". There was no room for them really enjoying the music; we were inherently "fake" because we were female. In reality we were dumb girly girls who just wanted male attention. Constant proving of my worth to others and myself was my everyday job; proving that I'm not "like other girls" while living in self-hatred because I was born a wretched female. Thinking sexuality was my only emancipation was even bigger insult to my humanity.
Not only when I've found out about Second Wave feminism and it's inheritance I started developing healthier relationship with myself and life in general. They literally saved me and I'm forever grateful to those incredible and brave women.
Women are human beings. We are determined to good extent by our biology, but at the same time, our biology is not gender stereotype. Nor are our souls. Gender hurts.
Our identity can only be based on our sex and shared humanity and freedom of the spirit.
