Spot the contradiction, anyone?

"I am by no means a feminist, but I am definitely for equal rights."

... this is not as contradictory as you think....
ReplyDeleteMany women are afraid to call themselves "feminists" because the word "feminist" was successfully turned into a pejorative by anti-feminists.
Wanting equal rights, demanding the same respect as men -- sure, women agree.
But being a feminist... this sounds so angry. So aggressive. So not getting-a-man and hating men. So not-shaving-your-leg-hair. And who would want to be associated with something as unpleasant as that.
The anti-feminist league won this battle long ago. Maybe finding a new word for "feminism" is what would get more people declare themselves feminists.
I agree with you (although I'd try to get the word back before giving it up and finding a new one) - see the title of the post.
