Being a feminist used to just mean you support women having the same legal rights as men under the law.
Now a days, since women already have all the same legal rights, it doesn't mean anything specific anymore to say you're a feminist. Because people have such different opinions on what is "pro female." As Tib's said, some feminists will say prostitution and pornography is empowering to women... others will say it's oppressive. Some feminists will think that women should be more like men.... others will say true feminism embraces femininity and all of its unique qualities. There are some feminist groups that are pro life. There are some that are an insufferable group of man hating women who won't shut up.
So, excuse us I suppose if we refrain from using a term that could mean so many different things. Can't we just agree that women have the same worth as men and should have the same legal rights? Most civilized people already think that anyway. We don't need a term for it anymore, other than just being a normal human being.

"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."
