It can be difficult sometimes to properly adhere to one's feminist principles in the face of pressure from the patriarchy. We all have to make choices - do we wear a little make up to work in order to look 'professional' or do we decide to demand respect bare faced, for example.
I have decided that we should put together a 'cheat's guide' - a list of ways in which we can stick it to the patriarchy but have the hassle free benefits of appearing to comply.
I have a couple of suggestions, top tips if you will, to get us started:
In a dilemma as to whether to shave your legs or not? Let your hairs grow to full length then crochet them into fishnets!
Feel conflicted about taking your husband's name or keeping your own? Just make sure you only ever date people with the same surname as you.
Any more bright ideas?
