Not an argument. Feminism is an ideology and like any other has its good points and bad. You can believe in equality and not have to identify as a feminist.

You can also believe in a better world than the one we currently have, not call yourself a feminist and also not believe "equality" is the standard we should be caring about.

(In case it actually needs to be said again: I happen to be female.)

Oh of course. Wouldn't want to be associated with feminism. But hey, you can still be a feminist, just don't call it that, right? Becauase just like men's deodorant and shaving cream, we have to have our OWN version of feminism, free from all of those WOMEN. Wouldn't want to be associated with women or have to navigate a space that isn't ours. Nope.

(Hint: this is sarcasm and feminism isn't primarily about men.)

So if "feminism isn't primarily about men" then why would (and even how could) I be a part of it?
