AIBU to wonder why any woman would identify herself as....

[seeker]

.....not a feminist?

I have an empty wine glass and two figures from Ben 10, will that do?

Hully, grab your lovestick and do some of that sparkly crap you do so well.

Come on dittany, you don't want this thread here either, give us a shove.

Ok, shall I press the big red button move it back?

Bye D...........

We're home Toto!

Goblin!

Oh, it's so LOVELY to be unreasonable!

Ahhhhhhh. That feels better!

Thank goodness.

HRH - er, no I didn't

Catherine - what was the rationale for moving it?

I haven't read all of this thread, but one thing is very clear.

The OP asked why some women reject feminism. A great number have argued that they don't reject equality for women, which ultimately is at the core of feminism, but they reject the attitude that some "feminists" seem to share. Rightly or wrongly, the feminism board on MN is seen as a haven for that version of feminism.

When this thread moved to feminism, some of the more regular denizens of that subforum seem to be rejecting this view as unfair, and argue that they only aggressively attack feminism.

There's clearly a disconnect between a large number of regular women, who all support equality, and some more radical feminists who do seem to view these women as mysoginists. They don't seem to be able to acknowledge that perception at all. Until they do, I guess there will be lots of women who don't embrace feminism

That line in my fourth paragraph should be "attack misogyny"

Yay! We're back in AIBU.

Gah get away with you! You'll ruin my goth street cred

HRH & hully - it was meee! In an as-yet unanswered response to Dittany. I very liked your reply, HRH, and politely request admission to your club. I've got an MRA!

oops, crossposted

No seeum because of the girly stuff, or because we are back in AIBU Lenin?
I'm still unpainted, wearing sensible shoes and hairy, and if anyone tries anything on, I'll bite.
You've been warned ladies, keep those straighteners away from me and put down the tweezers.
