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.

MrsMcGarry · 09/02/2018 20:49

Yes.
Which doesn't mean I agree with everyone who also identifies as a feminist. Because equal doesn't mean the same.

HandbagCrazy · 09/02/2018 20:50

Yes

I have always been a feminist 'in theory' as I've always supported any push for equal rights but it's only as I've gotten older (am early 30s) that I have begun spotting a lot of the 'everyday sexism' interactions for what they are and really noted how ingrained and accepted some discrimination is. It's so bizarre to me to think of all the things that I never noticed it before.

you arent much of a feminist if you refer to other females as morons because they dont label themselves the same way you do.
