Or as a wife? When I get up in the morning before everyone else and prepare meals to take to Marko and Sofia, and I do it with a smile on my face?<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I wouldn&#8217;t say so, because that&#8217;s <strong>my personal choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Being a woman and a feminist doesn&#8217;t exclude either. That&#8217;s the beauty of freedom of choice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If I want to do something for myself, I can.<\/p>\n<p>If I want to do something for my loved ones, I can do that too.<\/p>\n<h2>And what about &#8220;others&#8221;?<\/h2>\n<p>Do women, who &#8220;by default&#8221; wouldn&#8217;t be considered feminists, deserve equal rights?<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago, Marko and I finally started watching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NMSCOntWhh4\">the documentary series &#8220;She Wakes Up<\/a>,&#8221; and in the first episode, we already had that &#8220;aha&#8221; effect.<\/p>\n<p>Namely, the documentary mentions the fact that if a woman &#8220;takes too much&#8221; care of herself, especially through numerous aesthetic corrections, she is automatically considered &#8220;empty&#8221; (not to say stupid) in society and is reduced to her sexuality, which, of course, is understood in a negative context.<\/p>\n<p>But wait, aren&#8217;t those double standards?<\/p>\n<p>And is it a fact that &#8220;beautiful and well-groomed&#8221; women can&#8217;t be feminists?<\/p>\n<p>Do they have fewer rights to freedom and choice?<\/p>\n<p>If those of us who don&#8217;t wear makeup, don&#8217;t hold children, and don&#8217;t want to fit into &#8220;industry standards&#8221; demand acceptance as we are, isn&#8217;t it just <strong>as legitimate a choice for other women to look the way they want to<\/strong> \u2013 fully made up, with silicone, in high heels? Well, I&#8217;d say it is.<\/p>\n<p>Because <strong>reducing anyone to appearance<\/strong> by the principle of <em>stupid and beautiful<\/em> versus <em>smart and ugly<\/em> is i<strong>nherently problematic and an integral part of the same patriarchy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A woman is a woman. And every woman must have the right to choose, in every sense and aspect!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, the fact that Pamela looks the way she does is her right, her choice, and it doesn&#8217;t imply that she&#8217;s stupid, just like any other woman.

She was recently ridiculed on the internet f<em>or becoming too feminine overnight, and then she returned to wearing baggy clothes.<\/em> When asked why she did it, she simply said \u2013 <strong>because I can<\/strong>!
