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.

No, but there are elements of feminism that I agree with.

Nathalie1975 just put into words what I was trying to say.

I would say I’m a feminist in real life, but I’m certainly not the Mumsnet version of one.

RedHare I think after having children (a dd) I can see that she will continue to battle inequality in a way I hoped would be no more. When i was younger I just got on with things but now I can see how the cards are still stacked against women, it makes me Angry and Sad
