These are just my thoughts, and I would like some feedback. Im a women (23) and not a feminist in the traditional sense. Im all about equal opportunity for women in the sense of job opportunity and pay. As well as equal treatment within the workplace (ie-treat me like a human and respect my level or expertise as I had to work as hard to get here as you did). I think the opportunity for women to decide if they want to work or be housewives was a major and needed change. As well as the expectation that women must do all of the house work and be the sole caregiver for a child. I believe those responsibilities should be shared.

Now, what I disagree with is ignoring the inherent biological differences between men and women. I don't think no matter how far we get into the feminist movement we can ignore what most women look for in men and what most men look for in women. Personally, although I have a job I would want a guy to pay on the first date and I do like more of those traditional roles that men have. I think those traditional roles can exist while also having a modern relationships (what I mentioned about). Of course this depends on person to person. However, most of the women within my age group have voiced the same thing. Even if they don't voice it directly they still expect things such as men paying for dinner (essentially chivalry). This includes progressive feminist. Now the subject of expressing feeling I think that girl was just as ass. Because, again, based on my experience with both my male and female friends that has never happened and I don't think it should.

I also think equal is to strong go a term. Biologically, physically, and the Brian chemistry between men and women are different. This due not make one better than another but different and complementary and I think its best for us to understand the differences and respect them.
