Tough titty. People have evolved. You're just selling a "No true feminist" argument that no one has to buy. The day I have a rational conversation with a woman who calls herself a feminist, I might feel differently. Until then, I'm just not going to align with that title, even if I agree with some of the definitions of feminism. I'll never align with an -ism that isn't clearly defined. Feminism isn't.
Edited to add: I want to make it clear that I don't dislike feminists out of hand. I just take umbrage to this post that demonizes anyone who doesn't want the tainted label.
What do expect to say? That I'm crushed? Sorry...Can't say I'm crushed, Shell.
I give not a fuck about your likes/dislikes or what causes you align yourselfwith. I do find it slightly amusing that you and hubby seemed to take such personal offense at my post, but still....I'm pretty far from actually giving a fuck on what verbiage you cats choose to use or defend.
Honestly it seems you're the one who came in here super aggressive and mean to everyone. Tib and shell were voicing their opinions calmly as far as I could tell.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
