If there are so many exceptions to your rules, perhaps--and I'm asking you to genuinely consider this--they aren't rules at all? Me and my husband's mother are completely normal. My own dad was raised by a single father, and happily did domestic tasks and identifies as a feminist. He and my mom are divorced (they were married young), and she never remarried. She never needed a man to be happy. My aunt, her sister, never married. Has a incredibly happy and fulfilling life.

I personally know *so many* women who wouldn't answer "yes" to a single one of these questions. The fact that you assume anyone would is *very* generalizing, and does not, I would harbour to guess, represent the majority of women--or even the majority of American women. I'm Canadian and live in Europe, and have to say, American culture is regarded elsewhere as a bit of a dumpster fire, often because of the awful way it treats women.

Feminism is desperately needed in places like the USA and the Middle East where patriarchal culture endangers women's lives. Not that it isn't important elsewhere, but other places aren't in the process of legislating women's bodies to the same degree.

Your focus on biology *is* sexist. You imply--perhaps not consciously--some really horrible things about women (and men for that matter) based on a really limited understanding of biology, and I urge you to read some feminist literature. I know you replied to Katie's story here, but I don't think you really understood it. She cites many studies, and you cite none; maybe do some research before assuming that Andrew Tate's sexist rhetoric comes anywhere close to the truth?
