It is anti-feminist because it wasn't a fair choice for you to choose really. It wasn't like Rose was free to be with Jack. If she wanted to be with the guy, not only her family will be bumped down to middle class, she would be a mere possession to Cal. Good luck thinking that a marriage like that will make you happy in the long term. Marriage for money are usually unhealthy marriage. And that he's abusive on top of that.

Inb4 someone accuses me for being SJW, but this is the issue I have with choice feminism. Not every decision a woman makes is a feminist one. Feminism isn't simply about choice, but fighting for freedom to make a FAIR choice. In Rose's time, marrying for money was something you HAD to do. It was the status quo, to society, it was not really a choice. And she didn't treat it as one, she was resigned to it like a lot of woman from rich families of that era.

Choosing to be like being a housewife in the 50s wasn't a feminist choice because you were expected to be one despite whatever education and career you had before marriage. Now, in most cultures, housewifery can be considered a feminist choice because it isn't the only acceptable option for women now (although, let's not get it twisted, there is still an expectancy that your career is not before being a housewife of sorts or you're a bitch and that househusbandry is considered to be something to laugh at because it's a 'girly' thing that manly man don't do. Never mind, people don't take housewifery seriously).

+1 to all of this. I can't help side-eyeing everyone in this thread claiming that "choosing" to marry Cal isn't anti-feminist. What the actual fuck.

Because we are not talking about Rose. We are talking about OP, who says they would make that choice. Now, not with the 1920s expectations, and with a firm understanding of the situation. Big difference.

She seems to have missed the part where Cal is a physically abusive jerkass. How the fuck is choosing to marry that feminist?
