All the trailblazing women of the past gave us ... the opportunity to ... step away from society’s standards for women.

Most people need and benefit from "society's" standards. Those standards enable people to train for their adult roles while they are children. Some people don't need that training, and some won't benefit from it, but those people are outliers in the grand scheme of things, which is why feminist stories are always anecdotes about a woman who did this or a woman who did that.

For the rest of womanhood, feminism creates a new standard, not an opportunity. Women who don't earn money are resented mightily by women who do. (Yeah, I know - some commenter will say she doesn't resent them or knows someone who doesn't resent them. Getting people out of anecdote mode is hard.)

The sexes are complementary. One should not dominate the other, but that doesn't mean that they should not have gender roles they can learn from childhood. Someone has to get in the lifeboat first or no one does. Kids first, right? And then all of the adults draw lots? Not hardly. One parent of each child goes next. Which one, the lawyer or the engineer?

Specialization is how ordinary folks get by. The lifeboat is a metaphor for hard times, which, to the surprise of self-styled feminists everywhere, are more common than appear from the Women's Studies curriculum. Today's feminists are not ordinary folks. Believing that they don't benefit from standards, they think standards are bad, even as they impose new. rigorously genderless ones on their sisters.
