I don't really think it's any of anybody's business to rag on someone because of how feminine or masculine they are or aren't. It's stupid and hypocritical, but it's actually fairly common in a lot of branches of feminism.
I think our ideas of gender need to be challenged every once in a while, but I really can't be bitchy to anyone who decides to be "feminine", for two reasons. One, it's an individual choice. Two, I've decided to be "feminine" already by painting my nails, shaving, plucking my eyebrows, and wearing makeup.
I don't think I could **** up and embrace the patriarchy any more in the eyes of the radicals.
