Looks like a feminist - sounds like a feminist...?

In the letters page in yesterdays G2..

"As a young woman who does not label herself a feminist, but believes we should have the right to thongs such as equal pay, I must assume I am one of the "vampire feminists" to which Zoe Williams refers ( \link{http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,,1732248,00.html\the baiting game, March 18) }. It's sad that she considers young womens opinions on abortion and equal pay to be a "feminist line", when they should be the opinions of all, regardless of whether or not they are "feminists". Perhaps Williams would not be so insistent on women calling themselves if there were not women out there who had to pretend to be men in order to appreciate and embrace their femininity

Now I had to laugh...if issues such as abortion and equal pay are not feminist, in the sense that they wouldn't exist without feminism, I don't know what are. And as far as Blockers assertion that they should be the opinions of all, all I have to say is that they aren't, and without feminism bringing them to the agenda, they never will be.

But I'd like to hear more views..

Hmm, like the line that hse should be entitled to thongs like equal pay - who was it who called thongs arse-floss?

She sounds uneducated and irritating, tbh. Anyone who says something "should be the opinion of all" immediately makes me want to take an extreme line on making Satanism compulsory for all or raising the age of voting to 50.

LOL Caligula. That's my typo - how apt. Almost as good as your fanny fun ages ago..what was that again? I'm giggling now almost remembering it

Oop's I did it again, sorry! I meant fanny pun not fun..oh-er missus!

{PMSL!)

but didn't you know? feminists have to be ugly and preferably lesbian. they certainly don;t wear thongs.

yes I saw that yesterday and did a double-take at "should be the opinions of all" wtf???

This letter pissed me off too

Especially the "Miss" at the end

I thought it sounded like it was written by a 14 year-old...

Femininity. Another of those words that make me shudder.

yes it makes me think of scented vaginal washes
