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 am a feminist and I listen to, and sometimes agree with views expressed, LBC every day!

I am a feminist and I get Brazilian waxes, paint nails twice a week, love bras, love make-up

I am a feminist and I believe that some women are a complete and utter disgrace to the rest of us (most of Loose Women for example)

Panfriedstardust, you definitely sound like a feminist to me! Welcome aboard Smile

Hi,Miloben:Great credentials - I like you already!

I'm a feminist and can't understand why any woman with a brain isn't one also...

Stardust:

1 - you think that how people are treated, respected and valued should not be related to their sex?

2 - you think that this currently is not the case?

3 - you would like it to be the case?

Congratulations, you are a feminist (by my rules anyway)

I am a feminist and a SAHM who also does all the wifework (though I'm working on changing that).

i am a feminist and lazy, so although lots of things bother me i do very little about them...

i also loathe confrontation so sometimes even when something affects me directly i bottle out of standing up for myself.

I am a man, a husband and a father. I believe my daughter should have every opportunity in life that my son will have. I think things are changing for the better, just not as fast as some people would like. I have never worn stilettos and never shaved my legs. I don't know where this leaves me.

I am a feminist, and I love history and mythology (sometimes the same thing innit) and being really silly, and I don't agree with all other women or think we are a homogenous mass, and I get cross whenever I hear the phrase "gives women a bad name" because there are BILLIONS of us, and plus no-one thinks that really horrific people like Mussolini or Dr Shipman mean men shouldn't be leaders or doctors, and I believe that women's rights are human rights no matter where that baby girl was born, and I really like monster munch.

I'm a feminist and none of my favourite films pass the Bechdel Test.

I'm also a SAHM who does most of the cooking and childcare (by default, that last one).

And yes, I shave legs, armpits and bikini line, dye my hair and wear make-up.

But most of all, I'm a feminist AND I'M ANGRY WOMEN HAVE TO WADE THROUGH SO MUCH CRAP TO SIMPLY LIVE THEIR LIVES.

i didn't think i was a rad feminist, but i've just been called one on a fb page, have taken it as a massive compliment and feel 50ft tall now Grin
