I'm not a feminist because I like men

A quote from Angela Leadsom today.

I know quite a few female Conservative party members and my instinct is that they won't like that at all - as it plays to the extreme feminist rhetoric.

Many of the ladies I know - all of them 60+ and many in their 70s and 80s, would describe themselves as feminists in the dictionary definition of the term - they strongly believe, and have campaigned for, equality for women.

ALs misrepresentation of the term will do nothing for her popularity amongst those formidable ladies!

Can you explain a bit more?

Won't the majority of party members nod their heads in recognition of the obvious truth that feminist = whingey man hater , rather than recognizing radical feminist discourse?
