Oh, great post, great topic! Feminism discussions on most forums/blogs make me crazy, because I see so so many variations of the "I'm not a feminist because...." and then the laundry list of why not (which you mentioned above) comes out. I usually make one post, along the lines of "I wear makeup sometimes, I like perfume most times, I shave my legs when I'm feeling unlazy, I love video games, I've watched porn, and yes, I'm a feminist. And if you believe that women should have equal rights, equal opportunities, and are equal (not *the same*, but equal), period....then I have news for ya, you're a feminist too." And then I back away from the discussion before the responses cause me to shoot myself!

It's frustrating to hear the old "I'm not a feminist, but…" because feminism is still so pertinent and important in our lives. Women earn 77 cents to the male dollar -- so much for the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which was passed by Congress to put an end to wage discrimination based on gender

@Rick
You are right Rick, Michelle is the new face a totally new perspective about feminism. She has an amazing persona , she is still the very original Michelle obama as what she was before becoming the first lady.

I tend to say "I'm not a feminist, but..." because I'm afraid of real feminists.In my own mind I do consider myself a very strong feminist, but the feminist community is so harsh on anyone claiming to be a feminist who doesn't understand all their esoteric concepts and lingo that I shy away from calling myself a feminist in order not to be pounced upon. Yes, in the strict sense of the word, I am a feminist, but I am not a female supremacist. I like the term "equalist." Yet I used that term on a feminist website and found myself completely ostracised. I find my humanist concepts easier to explain and live with. And being a humanist is about rights and equality, which kind of comes back into being a feminist anyway.

Thanks for the post. Bralessness was so easily trivialized. I remember one Illinois legislator was quoted in the 1970s, responding to an Equal Rights Amendment lobbyist, calling feminists "braless, brainless broads." Bralessness was out; working for the ERA was in. But the myth of the burning bra continued, and speculating on why that legend is perpetuated is another matter for women's history. It is very interesing what will be futher.

Thank you for picking up on that. I cringed every time! It's not about that, but for many it's an easy catchphrase and one way to NOT get into a serious political discussion. :)

I think Michelle Obama has had an impact on feminism as President Obama has had an impact on volunteerism and public service. The First Lady seems to be comfortable in her role without seeming to surrender her own sense of self and skill set to a secondary position. Is she the new face of a new perspective of feminism.

Bra-fuckin'-vo, Holly. I try to avoid those "are you a feminist?" conversations because I break out in hives. ;) I am 'one of those feminists' that doesn't shave or wear heels or make-up and questions the reasons behind doing those things, but it certainly isn't a prerequisite of being a feminist! :P
