But there are feminists who don't meet your definition. Your definition is like saying one can only be an atheist if one believes that God doesn't exist-- it deliberately excludes some, or many, people about whom the term can be sensibly used.(February 17, 2015 at 3:30 pm)bennyboy Wrote: Feminism is not a brand name, so you don't get to define it that precisely. "-ism" means a philosophy or ideology about something. So any position which represents ideas about the betterment of females qualifies as feminism.
In the same sentance you tell me I can't define feminism, and then you define feminism.
