Might help also to describe what you think feminism is, since it’s one of those terms that is overloaded.

I once had a physical therapist tell me she wasn’t a feminist because she thought women couldn’t be as physically capable as men when serving as soldiers, and seemed to believe feminism requires treating women exactly like men.

I told her I was a feminist because I believe in equal rights for men and women, an idea she did not seem so opposed to.

    Yeah, I’m a feminist. I’m also a masculinist.

    Basically, if there’s not a good reason to prevent you from doing something, you shouldn’t be fucking prevented from doing it.

    Who or what you were born as, or what you identify as, in and of itself, is not a good fucking reason.

    Motherfuckers that try to prevent other people from living their own lives because of their own assumptions need to fucking fuck off.

      No harm, no foul.

      Somehow ive decided to just live life by this mantra and its going OK so far. I don’t have to understand or like anything that anyone’s doing, but as long as they aren’t hurting anyone its fine.
