Ah, I see.
I know what you mean..
I too have a problem with the extreme ones.
Not a fan of Andrea Dworkin for example.. and probably a lot of others I can't think of at the moment. I think they give feminism a bad name. And that it's all been pretty labeled, which I don't like.
To comment about women wanting to marry young again as an excuse for not working as hard... I think I see the trend you're talking about, but I've also seen this "modern" woman business/career-minded trend where women want to be more independent with finances and their career situations. They want to be working women and not housewives, etc. They value college education and intelligence as a means to empower over submissiveness. But I think both types of women have their place. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to marry young, even though i'm more of the "modern" women type. It's a way to work with a situation and also get out of situations like poverty. I don't mean marrying for money necessarily. But marriage can help bridge the gap between socio-economic roles. It could help someone from the lower-class work towards the middle class. I think this is good for society. I think it'll still be hard work rather than an excuse to not work as hard.. but they will have the means to do it. Marrying someone that's poor if you make below the poverty line is not going to help your situation at all.
