The problem many women have, I’m guessing isn’t just the “man-hating” reputation of feminism. It seems to be also to a large extent the any-girlism, if I can coin a term. As you know, girlishness or femininity or whatever it could be called tends to occur more in women than in men. All the things that feminists say about so-called “women’s magazines”, makeup, Barbi dolls, the color pink, and so on, not to mention having no purpose in life other than dedication to one’s family, those things alienate femms.

You go girl! You should never have to apologise for being true to yourself.
And I, for one will happily stand with you and unapologetically say that I’m a Feminist. (I’ll apologise for being the armchair type, though!)

Well it’s true that typically people feel the need to clarify what “kind” of feminist they are. It’s why the slang term “Feminazi” came in for the man hating kind. We men have given you plenty of reason to hate us, but really, you mustn’t. If you hate men then no one is going to take you seriously, and even if they do, and you get what you want, then men are going to end up in the position women are now, and all we will get is an occasional change in power. If we want equality then both sides need to forgive and move on. Things are changing for women, even if it may not seem it.
