I'm pretty sure you've all seen this before, or at least something like it. Although I agree that there needs to be less stigma surrounding feminism, I can understand why one would be hesitant to consider themselves one. I've been called "anti-woman" more times than I can count because I'm a pro-life libertarian, so I can understand not wanting to associate myself with feminism because, frankly, most outspoken feminists are pro-abortion statists (no, that is not an attack on all pro-choice liberal feminists). At the same time, I am extremely passionate about women's rights. I admire the first-wave feminists, and it makes me sick when girls and women are oppressed.
Personally, I want to take back feminism so people will know what it's actually supposed to mean. Kind of like how I'm pro-life, despite the movement having a significant number of idiots.
But I'm not going to force that label on anyone else.
