A feminist isn’t someone who agrees with every woman on the basis that she’s a woman. It pisses me off to no end when someone expects me to support their agenda because we’re both women. I can support your rights as a woman and still disagree with your views. If being a feminist means I have to blindly support any woman who wants to do anything, then I’d have to vote for Sarah Palin. And then I’d have to kill myself.
A feminist isn’t a lesbian. The idea that feminists hate men so much that they just can’t even stomach the idea of having sex with them is ludicrous. First, I don’t know any lesbians that sleep with women because they hate men. As far as I know, they just think vaginas are sexier than penises. I beg to differ but then again, I’m not a lesbian.
A feminist doesn’t have to be an athiest, bisexual, combat boot wearing anarchist.You could be. Or you can be a stay at home mom whose been married for 20 years. Or a Christian pastor. Or an ex-Mormon opera singer. Your personal choices for your life have no bearing on whether you believe in women’s rights.
A feminist doesn’t want women to rule the world. Women already rule the world. Men just don’t know it yet. Ok, I’m kidding. Believing men are incompetent jerks doesn’t make you a feminist. Being a feminist means that you believe that women have something very valid to add to the world and shouldn’t be discounted on the basis of what grows between their legs.
A feminist doesn’t have to be a woman. Men are just as capable in being feminists if they believe in women’s rights. It doesn’t make them gay, sensitive or even that great of a guy. He can still be a douche and if he believes in the rights of women, he’s a feminist.
