Here's the thing though... What they are portraying is not actual feminism (my opinion only, of course). They are using a bastardized version of feminism as an excuse to be lazy disgusting maggots. I would say I'm a feminist - not the man-hating, hairy-legged, butch, blue-haired whatever type, and I've never called myself a 'feminist' out loud to anyone. I do believe in empowering women (and men) and demonstrating that I'm just as good as anyone else in my male-dominated field. I just put my nose down and work hard. That's the true meaning of feminism to me, and I bet you that everyone else that has that same mentality is also fit, healthy, and full of love. Not whatever these fat fucking sacks of rotten cottage cheese spewing hate and oppression claim to be. I do agree with your message though, it's why I never externally 'claim' feminism, I like to keep it a mental state to try and break glass ceilings :)

You know what? I agree with you 100%. You just said all that in a way I've never heard before. I guess I just always wanted it to be something positive, so I turned 'feminism' into that when it comes to what it means to me. I'm proud to be a woman, I love men, and I think everyone who puts the effort in deserves the opportunity to be great. In light of your analysis, which absolutely makes sense, I guess I would just call my vision one that's more humanist. Projecting love, and being a productive member of society doing anything in my power to better the lives of everyone around me. What really makes me repeatedly bang my head into the wall is when they use their mass (literally and figuratively) to claim oppression and project hate, and it doesn't even exist in the world they live in. They get mad because someone called them fat, they get mad when someone says their fat is beautiful... They truly can't be happy - they feed off of being miserable and the complaining they get to do.
