Do you believe it’s a good idea or you would look for someone more “traditional”?

    Not sure what you mean with “extreme” but being a empowered feminist would be a requirement.

    The word “extreme” colours your question a fair bit. I think equality of all genders is good, I don’t think anyone should be subject to unfair treatment based on gender. As a cis-het man I like to be in a relationship with a strong woman.

    However, I dated someone for a while that probably fit into the “extreme” category. It was exhausting. I sometimes felt like I couldn’t do anything without it being subjected to the question: “is this the patriarchy?” Like, she needed to hang some closet doors, had no tools, and I was like, “Oh, I can bring my drill over next week and do that!” That offer to help needed to be examined.

    It also got annoying that workplace frustrations we both faced were always primarily parsed as “men being sexist” when it happened to her.

    IMO often her “fierce conversations” were her being kind of dick about something.

    Her model for independence and autonomy strayed very close to a refusal to take anyone else’s needs into account. Her desire to treat everyone like they were equal ignored actual power differentials and the responsibility with which they come. For example, she argued she wouldn’t put the booze away if someone she knew was an alcoholic was coming over because that would be patriarchal and robbing the alcoholic of their agency.

    It got exhausting.

    By “beside they being man or woman”, do you mean would I marry someone as long as they were an extreme feminist regardless of my own sexual preferences?

      I mean idk what you are but supposing you are a man would you merry a extreme feminist woman? Or would you look for someone more “traditional”?

        Hm…supposing I’m a man…it would depend on how you’d define “extreme”. If she were the “kill all men/men are useless” type that you occassionally stumble across on Twitter, or thinks that women who are more feminine are undeserving of respect, I would say hard pass. But some might define extreme feminists of ones who just want basic rights, but are very vocal about them, like to have an abortion when the fetus isn’t that developed, or, hell, not to get arrested for having a miscarriage. Or get paid/longer maternity leave (mostly opposed by people who underestimate the difficulty of childcare). Depends on how far right the individual judging leans. For that second type, I may accept.

          Thx for your POV mate 👍👍

          Edit: Supposing you are a man, and you get your partner pregnant, she wants to have the baby, but you don’t, do you believe it’s fair if you are legally able to renounce to the paternity of the child?

    You might get more serious answers if you didn’t have so many spelling and grammatical errors.

    I know you don’t really want any serious answers but it would still be nice if we knew what the hell you were trying to say.

    The only feminist I’ve had dealings with was the all-man or evil, kill them all type, and so my answer is absolutely not.

    My grandmother was a feminist, my mother was a feminist, I’m a feminist, being a feminist IS traditional to me and you’re damn right I want a feminist spouse who will help raise our children to be feminists.

    Fortunately I have one and we’ve been married for a decade and a half.

    Yes. If you’re lucky, they’ll start earning five times as much money as you do and take the pressure off you to take jobs you don’t like. 💪❤️
