I'm glad he's willing to talk about and address some of the legitimate issues people have with feminism. I mean, I support gender equality but I'm still hesitant to accept the title "feminist" because I see a LOT of bad behavior from self identified feminists and I don't want to be associated with that. I think we kinda need to admit that "feminist" is kinda an umbrella term, encompassing a lot of different ideologies, many of which contradict each other (for example, sex positive vs sex negative feminists and trans feminists vs womyn-born-womyn feminists). Because of that, whenever the issue of feminism comes up, I always ask how the person I'm talking to defines feminism before I can really continue the conversation, especially before I can say whether I'm a feminist or not.
