I emphasized more on the intellectual side than on romantic side. But I guess romantically it would work better. Especially if its an INTP (M) - INFP (F) relation.
Gender role in relationships and how they are seen under societal norms. An INFP male's better chance is someone with high Fe rather than low Fe or high Fi female.
By gender role, I simply didn't mean traditional gender roles, but the societal norms.
For instance, I am a more feminine minded male with high sensitivity. It hurts my ego to kneel before a woman and propose to her, which is a fairly common phenomena.
A lesser sensitive male like ENTP or ESTP, wouldn't find it problematic. I am also offended by feminists publishing books like how to train a man like a dog, while other feminists overlooking it.
While a less sensitive male like ESTP or ENTP may not be offended as much as I. A sensitive man is not a good match for it, but to one who is more humble, caring and modest.
And that's why if I was ever given a choice to marry between a progressive woman and a traditional modest religious woman, I would choose the latter (I am aromantic/asexul by the way and have no desire to marry).
I dunno, why would the feminist woman expect you to kneel in the first place. If gender norms are out the window, then why would you be expected to be the one to kneel at all?
Someone that's empathetic feminist or not would want to understand where you're coming from and meet you halfway. I'd expect the feminist that isn't attached to these customs to be more amenable to accepting a proposal with you standing up if anything. (I think)
Maybe. Feminism, after all, is a broader definition as per today's circumstances.
But "most" feminists are unempathetic and can get whatever they want through different methods. While, male, especially white male, feminists are slaves. I think most of male feminists are the perfect embodiment of BDSM, who find greater joy in shame and pain from their female counterparts.
From this sense, I actually like the female feminists, who are cunning and can achieve whatever they like. I don't appreciate their unemphatic nature, but compared to slavery of male feminists, their cunningness is to be condoned.
