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.

I want equality, I don't hold women to a higher standard than men which is how I feel feminism comes across. I also disagree with aspects of feminism which tell me, a woman, how I should feel or what I should do. Take darts walk-on girls, or page 3 girls for example, they want to do the job, but feminists are saying it should be banned. How is it anti-feminist if these women want to do it? Surely telling another woman what they should do is anti-feminist?
