[QUOTE=jadis;2236333]Anyway "the big idea" of mid 20th century feminism was to reject stereotypes of "femininity." Whereas the trans movement of today appears to take them arguably more seriously than they've ever been taken before.
/QUOTE]

This is really a 19th Century idea with Molly Wollstonecraft

her daughter ofc wrote "Frankenstein" Which in the 2nd half of the 20th Century was reclaimed by critics as the incredibly important feminist work it is

Shelley says with "Frankenstein" that there is no substitute for the feminine characteristics found in mothers

it's a critique of her mother's view of femininity as something to be escaped from

as a feminist work it does not ask women to be more like men, but asks men to be more like women, it elevates femininity

all of this to say that there has never been a consensus
