Sorry for the autism :)

Why is the bottom right picture done like that, it looks like these feminists just want to be more like men.

Why am I saying this? Because that position of the arm is there to show a bulging contracted bicep. Women have a lot less muscle there, so it doesn’t make sense.

Wouldn’t feminism be better when striving for things that women are naturally better at than men.

We don’t need to do the same stuff, everyone can do what they want.

But don’t make a fish climb a tree. Everyone should cultivate their own strengths and learn their own weaknesses.

And for women, being physically strong will usually be less attainable. Obviously there are exceptions. When I was 65 kg I could deadlift 140 kg, so a lot of muscle isn’t actually needed for strength, but still you get what I’m saying.

This type of stuff, as I was growing up, made me actually believe men and women were the same.

After years of talking extensively to men and women, I can assure you that’s not the case.

There should be no stereotyping, but we are indeed different and do not need to be the same.

If you’d like a bit of a read, the character portrayed there is named Rosie the Riveter.

Wikipedia - Rosie the Riveter

It’s definitely a wartime relic, but the history and meaning behind it are very interesting!

I forgive you your autism lol, I was raised very similarly especially because I had three sporty sisters (much sportier than I was).

Everyone should cultivate their own strengths and learn their own weaknesses.

That’s what happens if you remove sex barriers for activities. For instance, most people could not be firefighters regardless of their sex or hormonal makeup. In fact most men do not have what it takes to be a firefighter. But some women do, and more importantly they have the drive and motivation to become good at it.

I’m not even saying there are the same amount of qualified candidates between men and women, but there are enough in both groups that it makes sense not to limit applications along lines of sex or gender.

  Of course it shouldn’t be limited. Sometimes it feels like they are shoving women in the direction of being more like men. Which I find unnecessary.
  
  Just let people be who they are
  
  It sometimes feels fabricated

thank you very much. that is called common sense, not autism. we can celebrate our differences as well as our similarities.
