What makes a woman a feminist?

Asked by Charles (4823points) May 5th, 2012

Feminism seems to have gained a rather ugly image. It is seen by a lot of people (mainly men) as something only “overweight bitter lesbians” take part in.

It’s also seen by a lot of people as women being unclear about what they want – some complain when a man doesn’t open the door/pull out their chair/pay the bill, but then some become insulted when a man does these things. They find it degrading, i.e. “I am an independent women and I am completely capable of doing these things myself, thank you very much.”

So what do you think makes someone a feminist?
