Questions

Do you think women who reject modern feminism are thinking for themselves, or are they mainly indoctrinated?

My answer is independent.

Rejecting modern feminism does not automatically mean a woman is indoctrinated. In many cases, it can actually reflect independent thinking, because modern culture often treats feminist assumptions as the default and socially acceptable position.

Many women critically evaluate modern feminist narratives and conclude that those ideas do not align with their values, life goals, faith, or lived experiences. Choosing motherhood, family, traditional gender roles, modesty, or complementarian beliefs does not make a woman less capable of thinking for herself. She may simply have examined the arguments and reached different conclusions.

True independence means having the freedom to define empowerment and success on your own terms, not only within frameworks approved by mainstream ideology.

Too often, calling anti-feminist women “indoctrinated” just means, “I respect women’s choices only when they choose what I approve of.”

That is not empowerment. That is ideological gatekeeping.

I'm not doing so as a pervert, but if I'm sitting down at the table, sometimes at eye level these women (waitresses/servers) just keep walking past in a dinner rush.

The black jeans / black tight pants nowadays - crikey. Talk about highlighting the hour glass 20s/30s women figures. ⌛ I didn't flirt. I kept professional as a customer / server relationship.

But man - damn some folks who only exist to wait tables - sure keep in shape. Ladies, you know your waiters are sometimes hot too.
