  1. Change your surname when you marry.
  2. Become a stay at home mother.

Thanks.

As a feminist you can chose to do what the fuck you like. Breasts and Vagina not included in the decision.

Are you doing what you choose and for your reasons alone? Yes you can do the above and be a feminist because its about having the freedom to choose not following certain patterns of behaviour, whether they are traditional or whether they are the opposite to that.

As long as you are not doing it because you are expected to, or because you feel you have to be the one to make sacrifices more often than your partner.

There is no single way to live your life as a feminist.

ahh some people have a very narrow view of what feminism is or means to them.

Yup. did both. What makes me a feminist is I want woman to have the right to choose.

I’ve always identified as a feminist (person who asked: equality for both sexes) and have recently been told I’m a hypocrite Hmm

Of course you can. Don't see a problem if that is what both spouses agree to. Why do you ask?
