Yes, the “semi-cringey-ness” of both feminist and homemaker. Women are called out and criticized on whichever side we fall rather than acknowledge that one is not exclusive of the other, and perhaps we need new definitions/new names for both.
And throwing out those magazines was positively uplifting!!
