Me: "Third-wave capitanism sure is developing fast..."

Feminism is supposed to entail freedom for women, not replacing one kind of outwardly imposed social role with another.

Equality and equivalency are not the same thing. I presume this is obvious to anyone who doesn't have a post-structuralist background.

A feminism that squabbles over who women should be, instead of asserting their universal right to self-determination, is not pro-women.

Rather it is pro-power, because it disrupts coalition-building for essential rights and benefits (e.g. reproductive rights).

Human-as-labor-output-device is worse for women in multiple senses, particularly w/parenting. A man can leave that job; a woman not so much.

Judging women by career & income, giving them "rights" (read: obligations) for work and disparaging motherhood, *is* a system of oppression.
