Yes, my female friends are mostly like that too. Thankfully. The saddest part, though, is when they get affected by their environments, like this girl who started to work at my old job, and after three months, she sounded just like the rest. Brainwashing at its finest.
And I just wish people would learn the fine line between discussing a tendency they find problematic (waxing, just as an example) and saying people who do it are dumb/bad feminists/etc. The distinction is pretty fucking crucial. We get enough shame and guilt from the world around us as it is.
