If something isn't about you, why bother with it? Part of the fun of being on the team or in the club is doing what everyone else does, so there will be a lot of parsing of the rules to establish what that should be since there isn't a feminism home office writing policy for the feminist believers.

Another reason to talk about dating, fashion, and diet is because of lot of social justice problems like hunger, medical treatment, housing, and even childcare could be solved for some individual women in the short term by a feminist sitting down and writing the needy feminist in the feminist community a big fat check. I'm going to guess that a lot of the more well educated and therefore more affluent feminists would rather talk about the propriety of having an oppressed Asian woman handle their feet during a pedicure, than what needy feminists they are cutting those checks to. They make some very nice close toed sandals.
