7% of the population and just 9% of women in this country identify as feminist. I'm not saying that everyone should call themselves feminist, I care more about what people do, rather than the label they assign themselves. But I am that the number is so low.

Given that most people believe in sexual equality, why do so many people not feel comfortable to call themselves feminist? And what (if anything) can we do about it?

I am going with none

Oh but that doesn't matter how many there were because we have quotas and things now to try and change it :)

Yay girl

Merry christmas!!

Just 1 / 4800

Conditioning?

I blame pressure from society to be honest ami

Four bottles

Although i do tend to lurk

I think an awful lot of the posts have been very thought provoking

Watching.....always watching

Showerthought: Feminism has achieved nothing. These 'achievements' are the patriarchy pulling the wool over everyones eyes

Is that actually a thought for the shower?
