That gets back to my point earlier. Obviously, it's male feminists who are getting together with female feminists. And there's no short supply of male feminists.
True. One of my dearest friends was actually a women's studies and theatre arts double major. Not gay. Married to a great woman for coming up on a decade, now.

According to your idea of "unblurred gender roles," I should never have to work another day in my life, because my man should be bringing home the bacon while I do nothing but look good in a floral apron and have his martinis at the ready, maybe pop out a few kids if that's what he desires. 'Bout right?

No. I discuss these things with others who observe them, as in "Did you see that Subaru with that bumper sticker? Is she kidding, or what?"
Yeah, via a sperm bank, or are they are "desired" by a "male feminist"...a concept already discussed on here.
Betty Friedan (1921 -2006) was a leading figure in the women's movement. Her book, "The Feminine Mystique," is often cited as the impetus for the second wave of feminism. It started as a simple survey of classmates for a 15th year reunion. She orginally intended to write an article, not a book, with her findings, but no magazine would publish it. It was published as 'one of the most controversial books' of its time. Friedan was elected the first president of NOW, organized the Nationwide Women's Strike for equality and attracted over 50,000 women and men to the march in New York City alone. Friedan also established the National Political Women's Caucus.
Regarded as an influential author and intellectual in the United States, Friedan remained active in politics and advocacy for the rest of her life, authoring six books. As early as the 1960s Friedan was critical of polarized /and extreme factions of feminism that attacked groups such as men and homemakers. One of her later books, The Second Stage, critiqued what Friedan saw as the extremist excesses of some feminists who could be broadly classified as "gender feminists."
In 1947, Betty married Carl Friedan. Breaking from the then established role for married women, she chose to continue her freelance writing while raising the couple's three children. After Carl established his own advertising agency they moved to Rockland County, New York, and Betty took up the life of a then typical suburban housewife.

No, unless that's what you want to read into it. Society still adheres to traditional roles, for the most part, though people pay lip service to being "progressive." People who deviate from this "standard" limit the pool that is available to them. Kudos to your women's studies/T.A. male friend. He found a wife. Most women would be categorically disinterested in him. There's no denying that.

These same guys that want 'unblurred gender roles' are usually the ones going on and on about gold digging women and moochers. So, which do they want? An independent woman who forges her own path and supports herself, or a woman who sits in her living room waiting for a man to come and take care of her for the rest of her life?

So, in the end, the "quest" was tiring and she turned into Betty Crocker.

Do we not all do that in one way or another? You do that yourself to the extreme. You claim to be very picky. So, why is it an issue if others are just as picky, but with their own tastes?

Well, I was wondering the same thing. You have the adage "it's just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is with a poor man" and then you have women on here who say they will "date and marry a man with an incurable STD." Isn't that pretty darn inconsistent?
