Today, at breakfast, my sister labelled me a "feminist." My whole family now refuses to talk to me for more than 30 seconds, and acts as though I have an incurable, highly contagious disease. FML

You should frame a giant copy of the 19th amendment, just to freak them out.

I'm a feminist, and I totally agree that equality goes both ways. That's why I support men's liberation (which I suppose makes me a masculist as well? Oh well, I just use "egalitarian" as an umbrella term.) I think it's important for people to call out pseudo-feminists who support women's superiority, not equality. THOSE are the feminazis, not all of us. :3 I personally think opening doors and paying for meals is just a matter of politeness, not gender. That's why I hold doors open for guys as well as girls. And it's always hilarious when older men get confused looks on their face and wait for me to walk through first so that they can open the door themselves. And don't even get me started on double standard in cases of abuse, violence, divorce, or rape. That sh*t's messed up. >:(

#140 You may be the first "happy" feminist i have ever met. All the other ones i have worked with or hung out with seem to have a general slant of hatefulness throughout their life. Everything they look at is some sort of hate action or hate speech. And god forbid if i say i am going home to eat the supper my wife cooked. You would think we are selling slaves on the front of our doorstep. I solute you (little joke from earlier posting) I salute you and your positive outlook in life. May your endeavors be easy and your burdens throughout life will forever be light.

Haha. Borat should comment on this.

Label your sister "vegetarian", see what happens during dinner.

97- true, but I goes both ways. Men are in a bad mood, there in a bad mood. Girls are in a bad mood, there on their period! It seems like everyone thinks that just cause a girl is in a bad mood she's on het period. Sometimes they are just plain in a bad mood.

Depends. Are you the crazy wannachopoffeveryman'spenis kind of feminist?

97, honestly a man shouldn't hit his wife or a woman shouldn't hit her husband. But most men are bigger and stronger than women, and they should know that women can't defend themselves against someone stronger. I'm not saying it's okay for women to hit their husband either.

Feminists are responsible for making the Zumba hooker sound like the victim of a crime, not the male customers whom she illegally taped and essentially aimed to blackmail.

Excellent, your family treats equal rights like a disease. Hope you aren't gay, OP. No way that would go down well.
