Well for starters, when they’re not being a FAKE feminist by glamorizing the hijab.

I'm not saying all but some Feminists just use what other women have gone through as an excuse to look down at other people men and women alike.

The term "feminist" gets conflated with so much political dogma, that its pretty meaningless in real life.

I don't. I only label folks as mysoginistic or not.

Why do you ask? I am a feminist because I want equal pay and rights.

If you believe a woman has the right to say no (and people should respect that right) you're a feminist. If you believe a woman has the right to earn money and then maintain control over it, you're a feminist. If you believe a woman who does the same job as a man should be paid the same for it, you're a feminist. If you believe she can then spend that money on whatever she wants, and apply for credit, or put it into a bank account she has opened of her own free will, and that to do any of those things without first obtaining a letter from her father or husband giving his permission for her to do so, you're a feminist. If you believe rape is wrong, you're a feminist. If you believe a woman has the right to choose if and when she has children, you're a feminist. If you're a woman who enjoys the rights we have fought for, you're a feminist. If you're a man who believes women ought to have those rights, and views women as human beings rather than machines to provide sexual relief and produce babies, you're a feminist.

Feminist - a person who supports feminism.
Feminism - advocacy of women's rights based on equality of the sexes.

This shouldn't be too difficult. You're not a femist if you support women's rights. You're not if you don't.

screwed this up. You're a feminist if you support women's rights.

@Pamscwf1 Can a man be a feminists?

@PatrickKerr yes, the dictionary definition says "person" it does not designate a gender. As long as you qualify there, you should be good to go.

@PatrickKerr

Yes, men are feminists.

Feminist (dictionary.com)

noun

  1. advocating social, political, legal, and economic rights for women equal to those of men.

@LiterateHiker Its just there are so many labels on Feminists now a days.

@PatrickKerr

"Femi-Nazi" is what that loudmouth ass Rush LImbaugh calls strong women. Republicans use the term "feminist" as a slur.

Being a feminist means we want the same pay and rights as men, plain and simple.

For the past 40 years, American woman have been paid 71% of men's pay for the same damn job. I wrote my Master's degree thesis on:

"Comparable Pay: Should Nurses Earn More than Tree Trimmers?"

with great fear of being run out of town.......I tend to not think of it that much with the exception of my partners cousin. She is a Professor of womens studies at a major college. There is no discussion on any topic , anytime that is not about womens something. even gardening or the weather somehow becomes a bout male patriarchy.

It is exhausting for this male.

And you are single?
