Thanks so much for the feature, friends!
Is there a pocket defintion for feminism or does it vary from person to person?
Doret,
What are you really asking? Many women identify as feminists while others reject the label. Some women, like Renee at Womanist Musings, identifies as a womanist. I think anytime we embrace a label we have to have personally decided what it means to us.
Sometimes we identify with a group even if we do not wholly embrace everything the group does or believes.
I think there are women who read and appreciate FR regardless if they call themselves feminists.
Thanks Susan. That's what I figured, that each person must define feminism. I've just never understood why a lot of women distances themselves from the label or are offended by it. I thought maybe I was missing something.
For a long time I associated the word with NOW and I didn't see any connection between me and NOW. I saw NOW as educated, white women who were fighting an intellectual, academic and political fight with men. My view has changed; I'd like to think I'm more informed but I still don't identify with NOW. I do identify as a feminist.
wow--this is a site I definitely needed to know about; thanks!
