Women’s Equality Should Not Depend on Doing Men’s Work

Chris Williamson argues that a strand of modern feminism still ranks women’s choices by how closely they resemble traditionally masculine work. He says careers and leadership are treated as signs of progress, while motherhood, caregiving and homemaking are often dismissed—even when women choose them for themselves. For Williamson, that hierarchy undermines feminism’s promise of expanding women’s options: equality should not depend on treating femininity as lesser.
