I have always thought of myself as a feminist, not a well read or active femanist, though I do intend to read up a bit more, but...
I wear heels to work and dress in quite a female way
I do not always challenge things that are said (WHen I asked my project manager what he wanted me to NOT do because of an extra task, he said "your a girl, you can multitask", lots of "traditional" ex prison-officer types around and the accompanying views)
To be fair in my relationship with DH we are really a partnership and that is what we show to the children, he does all the ironing, most of the hoovering and cooking during the week, and most of the drop off/pick up of children. I also earn more than him (no idea if relevent)
I guess what I am asking is do you compromise on what may be your ideals as a feminist? Or am I just a shit pretend feminist
