I enjoy my freedoms as a woman, but I just feel feminist is a bit of a strong word. If anything, I am an equal rights advocate.
Think about it... Women got the right to vote before blacks. I think we are being a bit selfish in our desire to be equal just as women, so I don't want to single myself out as a single activist. I'm not even an activist. I don't believe in tearing down rainforests, but I don't go walking around with signs saying "Save the rainforest." I think of feminists as those ppl always talking about women's rights and that annoys me just as much as Christians trying to "save" me.
Maybe I am a feminist for just the plain fact of believing in women's rights.
Femno-nazi is a perfect term for those people who are looking to be better than everyone else. Isn't that the point of nazi-ism? I think I am perfectly intelligent enough to make the connection and wish not to be directly attacked for my use of terms. I am not saying that all feminists are femno-nazis.
I like to be independent enough, but I also still believe in the bread-winner society. I grew up to it. I would like to have a husband that will help bring in an income, and I have the choice to work myself to help out. Or I can have kids, which is a big IF cuz I hate kids. I'll stay home and take care of the cats. I still believe in chivalry, and obvioulsy not being beaten by my significant other. But along with feminism came the independence, and out with the chilvary.
Heather should know from some of her readings how much more romantic guys were towards women back in the day. Today we're lucky if our romantic guys take us out to McDonalds. Just 50 years ago there was more chivalry than today! Bah, I say.
