I am a feminist and...

[mumwithdice]

There are so many threads which ask "Can I be a feminist and x?" The answer is mostly yes, yes you can. So what are you a feminist and?

I will start. I'm a feminist, a SAHM, and a geek/nerd (depending on your definition).

I'm a feminist, a wife, a freelancer and the person who does most of the home stuff/parenting round here.

I'm a feminist, a wife, a mother, a surrogate mother, a Christian, an early years worker, a person with disabilities, a science undergrad, day-to-day organiser of family life.

I'm a feminist, a WOHM, a fan of 'gentle' detective fiction and an owner of more than 30 bras , none burnt .

If I said 'I am a feminist' would have to finish with '. . . and sorry for giving the rest of you a bad name'

i'm a feminist and i do all the cooking in our house

I'm a feminist and my legs are hairy...wait I wasn't supposed to say that, was I?
I love clothes and fashion. Doesn't stop me from being against oppression against female people. Fashion can be quite oppressive though.

I'm a feminist and I am far too concerned about my appearance. I don't wear make up for me. I wear so that other people think I look nice. I'm not happy about it, but there it is.

Hmm. That was a bit cathartic....

I am a feminist, a single parent of 3, a christian, a teaching assistant, I wear make up to work and for going out (but not at home) and I enjoy knitting, crochet and baking.

I'm a feminist and sometimes my legs and armpits are hairy, sometimes they're not, and I'm not going to apologise for being feminist!

I'm a feminist and WOHM, pregnant mother of 2 girls, impractical lazy domestic slattern, hairy of leg (but do dehair despite my non-depilating feminist mother), ambitious, daydreamer...

" I don't wear make up for me. I wear so that other people think I look nice. I'm not happy about it, but there it is."

:o

I love you just for saying that. Me too! :)

I am a feminist, a lone parent and a banker

I am a feminist, (albeit a new recruit) a single person supporting herself, a teacher, a company director, a rape victim

And the hairs on my legs are now about the same length as my head hair!

i shaved my legs last week as the hair was poking through my leggings - kept brushing my shin as i thought i'd picked it up off the carpet

I'm a feminist and I sometimes play the long game by not challenging every dodgy comment to which I am witness.

I am a feminist and I often do what I need to do to get by in the patriarchal society in which I live.

I am a feminist and I no longer think that saying I am one as a default is an option.

I am a feminist and I don't think it's just about me.

belle if there's a DM journo reading this I believe you just scored a hat trick

I am a feminist. I am a single parent, I work in a library, I like underwear, i like men, i like shoes. I could go on and on and on and on.

I'm a feminist and I shave my legs, wear dresses, like pink, do the housework, like men, am a single parent, abuse survivor, rape survivor, volunteer, student, working class, and a bloody fighter.

Not in the violent method mind.

I'm a feminist, mother and I like wearing dresses and make up.

I am a feminist and I don't like it if anyone calls anyone else "unfeminist" for anything short of saying that men are better than women.

^ THAT says it all.

Damn, wish I'd posted under my own name if people are going to nod at me :o

Iam a feminist and my career is secondary to my kids, and I care about looking nice and being thin.

I am a feminist, I shave my legs, have my eyebrows waxed and wear make up. Oh and I have my roots done every 3 weeks!!!!
