No need to go further into your reasoning if you don't want to but this has always a been curious issue to me and came up today with one of my colleagues. She is a feminist by how she described her beliefs but doesn't actually adopt the term.

Yes, and another one becoming more so as I get older. Slightly embarrassed at my lack of feminism when I was younger.

@ZivaDiva Me also. I wish I could grab 20yr old me and shake myself!!

Why are people being called idiots for having a different opinion?

Because that's the way it always goes on here if you dare side with a man's opinion, or say "no" when as a woman, you're apparently an idiot if you don't "think" the right way.
"Idiots" like the idiot who posted "because they're an idiot?" demonstrating perfectly why some women say no to being a feminist.

Andromeida29 · 09/02/2018 19:39

I'd also just like to add that I don't think 'terf' is offensive. I think I might be one of those too.

Yes

RoryAndLogan · 09/02/2018 19:42

Who the fuck are the people putting their answer as no? I'm assuming most of you are women? And you don't believe in equality for men and women????

AlexD72 · 09/02/2018 19:43

No

Bluedoglead · 09/02/2018 19:43

Rory before I answered I asked what definition was being used.

I haven’t really had an answer.

Lovelylovelyladies · 09/02/2018 19:43

Yes.

But I don't agree with the #metoo movement.

What about a #metoo movement where ugly women stand up and say I didn't get the job because I was ugly.
