it's funny how people misconstrue the meaning of being a feminist.  a feminist is a supporter of the equality of women.  that's it.  plain and simple.  it doesn't mean we hate men, are lesbians, are pro-choice, are hippies, aren't mothers, etc.  it's kind of sickening how many stereotypes are forced upon us as feminists.  and it's also funny that anybody thinks any detail of our lives may be a reason to take away our rights.  a grrl who likes sex DOESN'T deserve to be raped.  a mom DOESN'T need to conform to what society deems as "appropirate" clothing.  i really don't understand why anyone wouldn't want equality for women.  we aren't trying to step on men.  we are just trying not to get stepped on by society and individuals whether they are male or female.  lately i've been partial to calling myself a humanist.  just because i am a human before anything else and therefore feel that all humans should be entitled to the same rights.  to freedom.  regardless of gender.   it makes this more understandable to the simple minded.  who can deny that all humans should have the same rights?  i guess a lot of fucking people...
