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 can say I was long ago when it was roughly “women’s rights should be equivalent to men’s rights” in terms of personal, work, social values and features.

    These days and especially in the last 10 I don’t think the umbrella of feminism is large enough to encompass all of the discrimination I have seen through my time existing.

    The long and the short of it is people’s rights should be similar when applicable, the same when possible.
