>to me, "feminism" is about women wanting careers
Second-wave feminism lasted from 1960s to 1980s.

Dealing with such women is usually a worse experience for me than dealing with most men. Such women are typically pretty toxic.
In a sense, no one talks about these considerations openly, ever. So it comes out indirectly through attitudes.
Everyone is supposed to be motivated only by positive things, you are supposed to stay because you are caring and loving not because you are sucking it up. That idea insults people. You are supposed to work because you love career, not because you don't want to be the lazy nagging stereotype - which you are pretty sure you would turn into if forced to stay at home.
If you want to call yourself a feminist and talk about getting equal rights for women, then I don't want to hear your crap about how your ideals only actually apply to women like you but still exclude large groups of women.
I think these are just bitter people who felt "It's a man's world and the least worst option for a woman is to not have children."
That's not an idealistic solution. That is not about making the world a better place. That is not about expecting more of the world. That is basically saying "No point in fighting evil. You can't win."
Turning around and shitting on me because you gave up years ago makes you part of the problem, not part of the solution.
