Some brands of feminism miss the mark by completely ignoring the concept of choice and self-determination and describing a path too happiness that is supposed to work for all adherents. It started with an excellent message of telling women what they could do, but somehow morphed into a movement that attempted to tell women what they should do. Yes, you can be a CEO or a race-car driver or a playwright, but that doesn't mean that you'll be happy doing those things. Men who are driven to succeed at all costs often have midlife crises when they realize that the path they've been following all their lives isn't going to lead them to happiness; guess what Zoe Lewis, your current predicament has little to do with feminism and everything to do with the human condition.
