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 and I wear makeup to work and when I go out. I also epilate my legs and bikini line and shave my armpits. I like wearing high heels and tight dresses when I have an evening out. I do most of the cooking at home but not the washing up.

I love my career and can confidently say it will still be hugely important to continue it when I have children.

I thought Scorpio was that film with Al Pacino?

rainbowinthesky Doesn't seem to do them any harm [examines parts of nails visible due to chipped polish].

On second thoughts, you may be right...

I am a feminist and I work part time while my partner pays most of the bills. I shave my legs and my pits and my bikini line. I wear make-up when I can be arsed, dye my hair and love high heels. I don't think that porn or stripping or prostitution are the devil's work, although I do think they're problematic.

Let's call it a draw.

StarsAndBoulevards · 15/02/2012 17:41

As long as I won...

lollygag · 15/02/2012 17:45

StarsAndBoulevards · 15/02/2012 17:55

lollygag · 15/02/2012 17:57

I'm a feminist, atheist, mother, porn-watcher (but only the really good stuff, which tends to be lesbian).

CatitaInaHatita · 15/02/2012 23:56

I'm a feminist and I think it is important to separate the criticism of a practice from the criticism of a person. I also think the argument that something is normal or that "everyone does it" or "I do it because I like/want to" is not a sufficient reason to not question it or suggest that it may be harmful to women as a group.

Oh and I wear makeup for work and shave my legs. The last one annoys me as I always wear trousers or thick tights.... (but I do it anyway)

I am a feminist and I don't put the bins out

catgirl1976 · 19/02/2012 21:35

I'm a feminist and I think being a woman in the 1st world today is something to be celebrated and that I am not oppressed or on a more difficult footing than a man

Grumpla · 19/02/2012 21:42

I am a feminist and I don't dislike men, not even a little tiny bit, in fact I am married to one and he's bloody lovely.

I also like bras, nail varnish, trashy romance novels etc.

I fucking hate the patriarchy though. Grrrr Grin

FreudianSlipper · 20/02/2012 12:10

I am a Feminist

i am a single mum to a son, i am a student working within dv, i have survived abuse and no longer messed up, i can support ds and i but the money the ex pays makes our lives a whole lot better, i wear make up. i like high heels and fishnets, i like to fuss over my appearance

i do not agree with all other feminists, i have my own mind which i feel is a fundamental quality of being a feminist

Lio · 20/02/2012 13:31

I am a feminist and am married to someone who looks after our joint finances and puts the bins out. And I want to lose weight. And I like lots of male-dominated comedy panel shows.

cocolepew · 20/02/2012 13:38

I am feminist who works part time always goes out with make up on and have never owned dungarees.

miloben · 20/02/2012 23:09

I am a feminist, and I am pro-life (firm believer in every person's rights, such as those not yet born), practising Catholic, vegetarian (firm believer in animal rights), and I also like men....especially my husband!

Panfriedstardust · 20/02/2012 23:31

I am not a labelled feminist, but stand up for a women's right to equal treatment with men. Never worn stilettoes and have never shaved my legs.
