Most days I struggle just to be accepted into the camp of plain old feminists. This is mainly because I am not by nature ideological and generally suspicious of people who are.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I still try to be a feminist in some tiny way.
I try to be feminist in, like, I love myself and I don't need someone else's approval.
I work toward the liberation of women, but I'm not feminist. I'm just a woman.
I try my hardest to push the point that I am a feminist.
Like many traditional feminists, I became one of the boys, only better. For a while it gave me a buzz to win at their game, but ultimately, that kind of power just goes nowhere. Traditional feminism excludes men and so perpetuates conflict. I am not interested in warring about power.
I think a lot of divisions of perspective and experience that happen within feminism are very natural.

It's not always easy being a full-time feminist - especially as a young woman - when you're constantly being told that what you do is irrelevant. I'm on the defense all the time.
I consider myself a rampant feminist.
I've always been a feminist, and what I love in my work is being able to explore a full-sided woman and not patronize her.
I AM what is called a Feminist. Thirty years ago I left a monastery and began a sane human existence. Within two or three years, I find, I was defending the rights of women.
