I don't label myself a feminist and I am not very informed on the relevant issues. But what I want to know is if I...me, personally...am being paid less at my job for equal or better work then a male counterpart (you can't say it NEVER happens anywhere), would you, pool, consider me an annoying, unreasonable feminist? The situation is hypothetical. I'm just trying to understand where you are coming from.
Well of course I can't prove that this isn't happening atleast somewhere , it's hard to prove a negative..
Also I don't think of you as annoying or unreasonable, you're lovely and awesomestistic at best.

A lot of feminists are just misinformed.
Oh, well the you! [emoji7]. No, I'm not saying prove a negative. I guess what I'm saying is I don't think it's fair to lump all women who identify themselves as feminists together into a stereotype of crazy, hairy, unreasonable people, because I'm sure that many women in this country are still subject to sexism from time to time (even if things are generally improving as you say), and those individuals shouldn't feel ashamed to stand up for themselves for fear of the stereotype.
