... empowering women, or portraying women as helpless, easily pressured and influenced beings? By 'short commings' I'm referring to personal dreams and goals.

By 'short commings' I'm referring to failure in personal dreams and goals.
Sorry.

The big problem I have with feminism is the fact they consistently change their wants and points of view. When they first started out, they just wanted equal pay and to be wanted for their brains. Some say that was because they were tired of seeing buxom blondes advance in the workplace. Suddenly, it seems OK to feminists to use their bodies and sex to advance in this world ala Madonna.
First they suggested that the only difference between men and women is their plumbing. They suggested that if you give a boy a doll and girl a football their personality could be swapped. It simple wasn't true. But they did their best to sell it to the world.
They also seem to hate men and have almost suggested that women or society doesn't need them except to produce a sperm if they choose to have a child at the end of their careers. This has
had severe results in our society. The importance of men has been completely down played and the result is boys are not doing as well in school, not taking responsibility when needed. They don't feel its their job to protect or respect women. All these things can be witnessed in your average music video.
Society has proven it has important needs for both men and women. But it definitley needs father figures. A conference of mayors suggested this was the biggest problem in our society was the absense of Fathers. Studies also show that the trend for fatherless children is for the males to act like thugs when they grow up and girls to be more promiscuous.

So your question is...."is feminists blaming of womens personal dreams and goals on society"?
that doesnt make sense......
However....to try and answer your question.....I feel (being a feminist) that the womens movement helped women a lot....however there is still a lot that needs to be done.....and I think women (as a whole) allow a lot of **** to happen to them, and put up with a lot of ****......Some women are helpless because they choose to be.... Some women are empowered because they choose to be....
Its up to every women to decide just how strong she will be.
I think that if you dont obtain your personal goals and dreams you have no one to blame but yourself (man or woman) sure society plays a part of it....but its mostly you!

Neither.
They are stating that some women would rather put up with sexism from their hubby than be single.
They are stating that some women would rather put up with sexism at work than be unemployed. (Sidebar... victims of racism and homophobia often do this same thing.)
They are stating that some women, especially young women and girls, might not be aware of their own possibilities in the world because they are not allowed by parents and teachers to explore every opportunity. In other words, they don't know what they're missing.
