My opinion on Post-Feminism

I enjoy the discussions and comments that have taken place regarding post-feminism, gender roles, masculinity and femininity. It’s reassuring to see that other people share my views on these issues. (I have this thought after reading Boys Don’t Cry). With regard to post feminism specifically, I believe it’s the role of anyone who can look past the limitations and roles that are instituted in patriarchal society, and live against them, to be one. Not to act as if these limits don’t exist, but to exist and live knowing that these aren’t the restrictions or categories we should live by, and to instead, live freely in a sense. The decisions that an individual makes every day is how this power can be expressed. I believe a post-feminist still has the same agenda as a feminist, and fights for the same goals regarding equal pay, better representation in the media and government, etc.,  but the depth of a post-feminists’ goal is larger.  It’s more along the lines of re-defining gender.

P.S.: I haven’t 100% finalized my thoughts on the matter, these are currently just my thoughts.
