Feminism and femininity

Oz Conservative offers some interesting thoughts on an article about feminism and "the inner woman". From the article he excerpts:
Yet it turns out there are rather obdurate female longings with regard to dependency on men, despite pronouncements to the contrary - women need men like fish need bicycles - back in the heady years of the second wave. It turns out that fish are devoted cyclists. Indeed, the problem these days is that the bicycles seem to be fleeing the fish.

Hmmm... Couldn't be that feminism has conditioned men to expect that the throw-away relationship or casual one-night-stand are what liberated women want, could it? They flee from the commitment that the women aren't supposed to want anymore. Talk about mixed messages!
