Might help also to describe what you think feminism is, since it’s one of those terms that is overloaded.

I once had a physical therapist tell me she wasn’t a feminist because she thought women couldn’t be as physically capable as men when serving as soldiers, and seemed to believe feminism requires treating women exactly like men.

I told her I was a feminist because I believe in equal rights for men and women, an idea she did not seem so opposed to.

    If feminism means equality, yes. If it means women are better than men, no. If it means women have been oppressed so now it is their turn, no.

      What is it means men get systematically treated better so we need to put our finger on the scale?
