But Bonnie? Do you like the fact that you are getting a college education? Do you enjoy that you don't have to get married or have kids if you don't want to? Do you like that if Bob started being an ass and hitting your or something, you could leave him? Do you enjoy getting paid the same amount of money for doing a job that a man would get paid?
I think you do. And that makes you a feminist. Nothing more, nothing less. Feminists are not by definition man-haters, or not allowed to shave or get married. I am a feminist. I shave all the time. I smell pretty damn good now as I just got out of the shower. I think I would like to get married someday. I would also, however, like to get my degree, and get any job that I would like and get paid the same as a man would.
And personally? I don't need to be rescued by a knight on a white horse. I can and will take care of myself.
