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.

Except when feminism is conflated with unlimited rights to abortion and zero rights for foetuses (male or female). This seems to be a common ‘feminist’ standpoint on mumsnet.
