Are you a feminist?

Yes or no...

OP posts:
Topseyt · 06/08/2017 02:07

Yes, though not militantly so.

Painfulpain · 06/08/2017 02:07

Yes

Why?
Are you?

ethelfleda · 06/08/2017 02:08

Yes. In an Emma Watson way though - not a man hating way.

NoLoveofMine · 06/08/2017 02:10

Yes I am. I am just wondering what most feel on here.

NoLoveofMine · 06/08/2017 02:11

I am probably a militant feminist but am going to try not to argue with anyone who replies to this thread; just interested in responses.

Yes.

Not a terf though.

SenecaFalls · 06/08/2017 02:13

Yes. My MN nickname might be a clue. Smile

AssassinatedBeauty · 06/08/2017 02:14

Yes.

[I predict this thread will be shortly overrun with people who are not feminists proclaiming that feminism is stupid/wrong/not needed/anti-men/to blame for all societies ills etc etc, whilst fearing for their sons futures]

sooperdooper · 06/08/2017 02:14

Yes, and feminism has nothing to do with hating men

Yes
(and my daughters are too).

splatController · 06/08/2017 02:16

No.

I agree with most of what AssassinatedBeauty smugly said.

I was an ardent feminist. I'm now one of the one in five women in the UK who see it as an insult.

FeedMeAndTellMeImPretty · 06/08/2017 02:18

I think you might limit your replies if you start stipulating shit.

Why are we not permitted more than one word?

RedBullBlood · 06/08/2017 02:20

Why a one word answer? Are you keeping a list?! Will you be the only one to respond to posters, op? Any regular MNer will be more than au fait with your views.

Paperdove87 · 06/08/2017 02:20

Yes.
In a 'we should all be equal and we're bloody not' way.

BigChocFrenzy · 06/08/2017 02:20

Yes

NoLoveofMine · 06/08/2017 02:21

Well, quite clearly I can't force anyone to respond with one word or any explanation. I'm just interested.

OP posts:
AssassinatedBeauty · 06/08/2017 02:22

@splatController it wasn't smugly, it was a mixture of depressed and pessimistic, a kind of eeyore vibe about the whole thing.

sooperdooper · 06/08/2017 02:22

Unless you view yourself and any females you know as 2nd class citizens I can't see why you wouldn't class yourself as a feminist

NoLoveofMine · 06/08/2017 02:23

Any regular MNer will be more than au fait with your views.

Do you mean mine?

[puts hand up]

Please Miss. Can we ask each other questions or only the one word answers allowed?
Can we use more than one word when we're talking to each other at breaktime, Miss?

BadHatter · 06/08/2017 02:24

I think a more interesting statistic to figure out is the correlation between feminism and dyed hair.

Who has bright blue hair here?

NoLoveofMine · 06/08/2017 02:24

Yes you may. Go ahead but silence when I say so, alright?

OP posts:
inkzooka · 06/08/2017 02:24

Yes, but I think trans women are automatically included in feminism.

Painfulpain · 06/08/2017 02:24

Ooo...but I am interested in splatter change of heart...am I allowed to ask her about it?
