Are there any forms of consensual behavior that would 'disqualify' someone from being a feminist?

Are there any forms of consensual behavior that would 'disqualify' someone from being a feminist?

I don't understand . Could you elaborate?

What is feminism according to you?

What do you think?

Surrendered wife? Can you agree to surrender your free will and still believe in your right to it?

I don't know...plus some consensual behaviours can be coerced/socialised?

More questions sorry!

Whether or not there is a monolithic feminism is a question for myself that I leave to the members of this forum.

My curiosity is in whether or not there are certain practices which would undermine ones stance as a feminist.

What do you believe to be a "feminist stance"?

Please give examples of the practices you have in mind, it will greatly assist in answering your question.

Oh goddess, another one.

Do you mean like giving Jeremy Clarkson a bj?

What could a woman do that would make you question whether or not she is a feminist?

I have my copy of Universal Rules And Regulations For Feminists (2015 edition) ready and open on "Section 5.1: Disqualification". If you elaborate on your question OP I'll give you an official answer right away, quoting the correct subsection and paragraph.

Everyone here is a feminist, this is feminist chat. I am curious as to what everyone thinks already. Whether or not you of know any feminist authorities or not, or whether or not there are any at all was not my question.

If everyone here is a feminist, are you?

Why do you want to know?

Are you writing a thesis on it? What's your starting point?

I'm interested in the wording of your title and first post, OP. Why the emphasis on consensual behaviour? Surely if an action were non-consensual a reasonable person would not hold it against her.

Women who disagree with feminism tend not to call themselves feminists. So it's sort of a moot point. Some feminists do things in the name of feminism that other feminists do not agree with, which is hardly given that not all women (and not all feminists) are the same and it's not the borg. But it's not like there's an official list or anything.

Dear chopper

I fancy the inaccurate 2d portrait of Richard III more than the accurate 3d head. Am I too shallow to be a feminist with this image objectification?

What could a woman do that would make you question whether or not she is a feminist?

Anything that precludes women from having a free will, or not having equal rights to men would make me doubt that woman was a feminist.
Things live voting for any such laws.

Dear Yonic

Which is the portrait in which he is holding a kitten? I like that one.

Love Annie

Yonic - not so shallow as to be disqualified, but you have to undertake 3 Hail Dworkins as penance

You mean like thinking all women should take their husbands names or something ?

OP what the fuck are you on about, what example is it that you want to know?

For any individual woman, i would say that yes, there are things she could consent to that go against her personal, applicable only to herself, feminist stance. Because life is complicated. but that's an individual situation only and their decision and discomfort dont redefine expectations for anyone else.

But is there one act which no one who calls herself feminist could ever do and maintain that? I dont think so. Maybe actively and purposefully denying rights to someone based on prejudice against some defining aspect of them? Because it seems to me if you understand the concept of gender equality you should strive not to be bigoted in some other direction.

OP what do you think would "disqualify" a woman from being a feminist?
