It saddens me when I see women on TAM who say, "I'm not a feminist." This statement clearly indicates to me that there is a great misunderstanding about what feminism is.
As a self identified feminist I hope to clear up some common accusations and misunderstandings about what modern feminism is really all about.
Men and women of all races, all classes and all sexual orientations should all have the exact same rights and the exact same protections under the law.
The right to be educated, employed, promoted, married, give birth or adopt, control their reproductive choices, rent or buy property, enter into contracts and in general be treated with the same dignity and respect everyone else is treated with, for all genders, all races and classes and all sexual orientations is modern feminism.
So when I hear someone say, they're not a feminist I first assume they don't understand modern feminism. I haven't come across too many people who self identify as a bigot, so this must be a misunderstanding.:scratchhead:
