I'm unsure how useful complaining abt cultural pressure - lots of people thinking a certain way - is tho. Telling them they shouldn't. 1/2https://twitter.com/Amrael_pr/status/881803065682165760 …

Whether its socially conservative rigid ones or 'gender is an oppressive cultural construct' ones or anywhere in the middle.
-
There should'nt be a 'wrongthink' on gender. People ultimately do what suits them &its making that a moral imperative for all is the problem
-
It's often a self-justification. Eg 'I want to be a stay-at-home mother & also like dominant men so this is how men & women should be.'
-
Or 'I hate traditional gender roles and would be unhappy living in them so they are morally wrong & oppressive for everyone.'
-
Ideal to find partners with same preferences & live as you wish Then acknowledge this is what you wish, not what is morally right.
-
I disagree w idea that feminist ideas dominate society & the ppl facing most social pressure are those who favour conservative gender roles
-
In the realms of life choices, that is. Much more justification to say this re academia, social justice movements & leftist policy.
-
Social pressure on men & women around working & parenting still seems to be largely conservative pressure.
-
With mothers feeling guilty if they work long hours & fathers feeling ashamed if they struggle to provide alone.
-
But there is only so much you can blame 'societal pressure' for your own feelings if you've been able to make the choice you feel right.
