I find it painful, though, and I don't want to engage in internecine feminist warfare ever because I just think it's pointless.
Like I see I have a daughter, of course.
And, you know, I guess I have ideas about how I dress, how I present myself.
I'm sure they're not hers.
My daughter would say I'm very judgmental.
I know I am.
I come from a judgmental school of feminism passed down from my mother.
Like I still never have never written the word Mrs. on any document in my life.
Mrs. burned into my brain since I was about five years old.
So I'm aware, but again, with all these things, I try to say to myself, I am the way I am because of the way I was raised, because of the ideas I was raised around.
Okay.
Once I know that, then I know it's relational.
Like, that's me.
It doesn't have to be everybody.
But, you know, of course, within any movement, it's easy to get wound up by different approaches.
Sometimes, I guess, as you get older, you do see people reinventing the wheel.
You know, like I've just noticed
some younger feminists now saying for the first time in a while, oh, yeah, maybe, you know, having loads of plastic surgery isn't the most feminist thing in the world.
Well...
Yeah, babe.
