No I don't consider myself a "feminist." I think feminism is one of the most destructive forces in the modern world. But I do consider myself a feminist in some ways: I support women having equal opportunities in the work force and in education. I also am against the objectification of women.

Yes. I think women should have equal rights. Rights of contract, property rights, voting rights, workplace rights (including maternity leave and equal pay). For reproductive rights (including access to contraception and quality prenatal care); for protection of women and girls from domestic violence, sexual harassment and rape. I can see how people who otherwise believe in the equality of women would have an issue with abortion rights, so I'm purposefully leaving that out of the answer. But I'm against misogyny and any other forms of gender-specific discrimination against women. Most people, agree with most of these things. Some have issues with the whole reproductive rights, on religious grounds. Some people have issues with things like maternity leave, but on the whole, these are things that not only do a majority of people believe in, but many take for granted. So to everyone who says "I think equal right for woman are good, but I'm not a feminist and I think feminism is bad"--what on earth do you think feminism is? Not shaving your pits?

H to the no! If it were about equality, I would say yes. But, feminism is about misandary and female superiority. If it were about equality, it wouldn't be called FEMinism.

Yes because I choose not to subject myself to mens' power trips.
