Might help also to describe what you think feminism is, since it’s one of those terms that is overloaded.

I once had a physical therapist tell me she wasn’t a feminist because she thought women couldn’t be as physically capable as men when serving as soldiers, and seemed to believe feminism requires treating women exactly like men.

I told her I was a feminist because I believe in equal rights for men and women, an idea she did not seem so opposed to.

    haha, but hey - what’s wrong with hedonism!? 😠

    more seriously, why do you not identify as a feminist with third-wavers? What about third-wave feminism do you find problematic?

      The postmodern ‘sex/gender is just performative’ (‘there’s no natural essence to sex’, basically) and the ‘sex positive’ and pro-prostitution/pornography parts, mostly. 🙃
