There are so many threads which ask "Can I be a feminist and x?" The answer is mostly yes, yes you can. So what are you a feminist and?

I will start. I'm a feminist, a SAHM, and a geek/nerd (depending on your definition).

Let's call it a draw.

I am a feminist and I work part time while my partner pays most of the bills. I shave my legs and my pits and my bikini line. I wear make-up when I can be arsed, dye my hair and love high heels. I don't think that porn or stripping or prostitution are the devil's work, although I do think they're problematic.

On second thoughts, you may be right...

I'm a feminist and I wear makeup to work and when I go out. I also epilate my legs and bikini line and shave my armpits. I like wearing high heels and tight dresses when I have an evening out. I do most of the cooking at home but not the washing up.

I love my career and can confidently say it will still be hugely important to continue it when I have children.

Libra is The Lion.

StarsAndBoulevards · 15/02/2012 17:15

This is NOT an argument!

lollygag · 15/02/2012 16:53

I did NOT put you off.See I'm in ANOTHER argument.My Horoscope was right TWICE!

StarsAndBoulevards · 15/02/2012 16:51

Oh shoot. Astrology... Lolly put me off... :(

lollygag · 15/02/2012 16:50

Astrology is NOT made up crap! My Horoscope in the Daily Express said I would get into an argument today but that I should stick to my guns as I'd be in the right and lo it has come to pass!!!!

StarsAndBoulevards · 15/02/2012 16:47

I'm a Sagittarius, and I would believe in astronomy if us Saggitarians weren't too sceptical for all that.

WidowWadman · 15/02/2012 16:45

I believe in astronomy, too! It's astrology that's made up crap.

Anyway, I'm a feminist and have taken my husbands name when I married him. I prefer Ms to Mrs, but don't get annoyed when I'm addresses as the latter. It's "Miss" I can't stand.

I believe that there are deep running problems in porn and prostitution, but I don't think that it is always all bad.

I don't think the world works in binary, it's usually more complicated than that.

lollygag · 15/02/2012 16:37

Got my phone back now! Right - I'm a Feminist a SAHM a Pisces and I believe in Astronomy.

Waspie · 15/02/2012 16:30

I am a feminist, an atheist, mother of a son, work full time. I love reading trashy crime thrillers, listening to music and watching rugby. I'm definately a "Ms".
