Toxic Femininity

Is the desire to rule over men feminine? Or a female vice? How about the desire to have the honors due to a man but none of the responsibility required for those honors?

Lana Del Rey doesn't disavow feminism; she wants space so that she can express her femininity, but she's going to have to decide what her priorities in life are. Unfortunately for her, her career choices militate against her coming to an honest appraisal of the importance of femininity, especially with the threat of cancel culture.

.@emilyjashinsky asked me some great Qs about why I think Lana Del Rey’s Instagram rant yesterday has substance.

“The left-wing feminist movement might be constantly whining about “toxic masculinity,” but it actually has a deep hostility to femininity.” https://t.co/mcJN4C5hDg
