Did I read this wrong in assuming OP meant western society? Because much of what feminism does is say women should be equal to men under the law(which is true, of course) but then a lot of people take that to mean dress like men, "behave like men", try to look like men. Where we don't also say that men can look and act like women.

I have problems with this concept because there's so many ways to read it and I think any of them can be true at any time. We don't allow men to be "feminine" because we see it as weak. We don't allow men to be feminine because we see that as exalted. We want women to be "masculine" because it makes them more important. We want women to be masculine because it knocks them down a notch.

That might be hard to follow. Anyway.

In a perfect world we'd be allowed to do what we want as long as it doesn't physically hurt someone. We wouldn't say that women are taking men's jobs(or clothes, or style) because jobs shouldn't have a gender. Even if they typically are filled mostly by one.

I don't think that's feminism. I think feminism is fractured and indescribable at this point only using "We're for Equality" as a wall against criticism.
