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).

I'm a feminist and WOHM, pregnant mother of 2 girls, impractical lazy domestic slattern, hairy of leg (but do dehair despite my non-depilating feminist mother), ambitious, daydreamer...

" I don't wear make up for me. I wear so that other people think I look nice. I'm not happy about it, but there it is."

:o

I love you just for saying that. Me too! :)

I'm a feminist and sometimes my legs and armpits are hairy, sometimes they're not, and I'm not going to apologise for being feminist!

I am a feminist, a single parent of 3, a christian, a teaching assistant, I wear make up to work and for going out (but not at home) and I enjoy knitting, crochet and baking.

I'm a feminist and I am far too concerned about my appearance. I don't wear make up for me. I wear so that other people think I look nice. I'm not happy about it, but there it is.

Hmm. That was a bit cathartic....

I'm a feminist and my legs are hairy...wait I wasn't supposed to say that, was I?
I love clothes and fashion. Doesn't stop me from being against oppression against female people. Fashion can be quite oppressive though.

If I said 'I am a feminist' would have to finish with '. . . and sorry for giving the rest of you a bad name'

I'm a feminist, a wife, a mother, a surrogate mother, a Christian, an early years worker, a person with disabilities, a science undergrad, day-to-day organiser of family life.

I'm a feminist, a wife, a freelancer and the person who does most of the home stuff/parenting round here.
