I got construction and assembly. Too long, then too short.

I left my cave today but I'm crabby anyway. Out of my four students, I had one sick (unpaid, his first week) and one quit (after I cut her slack and didn't charge her last noshow week). The two I did have, one did pay for the rest of her book and one did pay for her missed last week. So I got paid for three. But both of them will be off next week for spring break, so my boss cancelled the remaining one.

So last two weeks I only got paid for three lessons. And this two weeks I only got paid for three lessons. This is why I don't like teaching entitled white kids for money! My Navajo kids never blow off their free lessons, AND they come in having practiced each week instead of coming in with extremely good reasons why they couldn't practice.

Synthesis?

If the choice feminists will welcome my hairy legs, I will be on their team.

That sounds weird to me. You advocate for as many choices for women as possible already, don't you? (My perception is that you do.)

My point earlier was that you're never going to make everyone happy. If you shave your legs, some feminists will say you're submitting to men's expectations. If you don't, some traditional women will say you're making women look bad. I say, please yourself.

Easier said than done, I know, but it's something I'm trying to do. (With marginal success so far, to be fair.)

I got "Creation" which is too short!

More seriously, choice feminism isn't really about superficial stuff like leg hair and high heels. It's more about economics: can it be a feminist choice to stay home with children, as doing so in many cases sacrifices your financial stability (women who do not work for pay sacrifice their contributions to social security and work-related retirement accounts, and in many cases reduce their long-term career potential.) I personally struggle with this stuff a lot, as someone who considers herself a feminist but has moved 4 times for my husband's career (he's never moved for mine) and is currently facing very little in the way of professional prospects in my chosen career because I am geographically restricted. And I'm planning, for the first time, to stay home with my kids this summer. The biggest reason for the choices we've made as a couple? mr. flea is an engineer (a still male-dominated field), and makes nearly 3 times the highest salary I've ever made in a female-dominated field. But there's no denying that if he ran off with a teva-wearing field biologist and divorced me, I would be financially pretty fucked.

I feel this way, too, even though S. and I have made fairly equitable pay most of the time. But that's due mostly to my lack of higher education and all of professional experience being in a field mostly centered in a city where I no longer live.

If they would advocate for it to be socially acceptable for women to have visible leg hair if they choose to do so, so much the better

Did they ever say it wasn't? I'm not sure how I ended up with such a different impression of choice feminism, but there you go.

Isn't the old-school feminist stereotype that leg hair is required? I've never heard of "choice feminism."
