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.

    I believe in balancing quotas and rebuilding social structures to be more inclusive. That’s something that takes several generations to bear fruit.

    Shaming or bullying anyone for what kind of body or privilege they were born into is where I draw the line.
