The OP specifically says she wants to be controlled by her husband, nothing feminist about that shit

The feminist part is the choice.

No, not really. There's slightly different takes on that in feminism. Rad Fems deride lib fems as "choosy choice" feminists, because the idea that any choice a woman makes is feminist is a bit shortsighted. A woman having the ability to freely choose is an outcome of living in a feminist society, but using that freedom to make choices that limit future options (for yourself or others) is not a feminist action. I.e. if you are a woman who writes a book saying that women should be subservient to their husbands, you would using the rights won by feminist to do that, but doing that is not a feminist action.

Summarizing for clairty: Feminism is liberation. It means is freeing women so that they can make their own choices. The choices they then make with that freedom are judged on their own merits and may or may not also be feminist.

I like that distinction. Kind of like how immigration is not a liberal policy.
