However, I...*rubs head* Dictionary definitions =/= everything that a word means. And 2. Yes. Yes, you are. DOES make me go on a mental rant about labelling when done in a way that is without your consent and in a way that doesn't broker arguement.
I don't call myself a feminist - I don't agree with the movement. I'm for equality for everyone, not just my gender. And I loathe the insane, men-hating anger that the more extreme feminists go on about. I know that's not all there is to it, but...it's the same movement, and I don't agree with being thought of in the same group as them. All arguements about well, they aren't my kind of feminist kinda strikes me as similar to all the religious sniffing of they aren't our sort of [insert religion here]. I don't think all feminists are crazy, like the way I don't think all Christians (or whoever) are close-minded bigots, BUT...
I'm not a feminist. By my own choice of what I chose to label myself as, I am not feminist. I'm for equality of everyone, not just my gender. I'll hunt around for a word that describes that if I must.
And it's way, way too early in the morning for this kind of rambling, and I'm not sure my point, so I'll stop.
BUT.
I do like most of this. Even the bit about Freud. Possibly especially the bit about Freud.
