It's always been very simple to me. Feminism = equality. If you believe in equal rights for all, then congratulations, you're a feminist.
More recently, I've come across the idea that a person cannot call themselves a feminist unless they are an activist. I think this is interesting; I'm not sure if I agree, but it's got me thinking. It also raises the question: how much activism is enough to earn the label "feminist"?
Feminism...Hmm..I'm an old white male, which when feminism appeared, I was branded as the enemy, for no other reason than being male. Too bad. I always supported the notion of equal pay and equal rights for women. Equal ability equal benefits. I have worked with many terrific women. I support hospitality pay, and am a heavy tipper, even if socialist critics cry that "it is demeaning" from the rear seats of their limousines. Too bad.. Even other women are not always with you. Just keep fighting for your rights...
