The Basic Feminist
You are 72% on your way to being a Feminist!
The Basic Feminist
You're a Feminist! Congratulations!
You have a good idea of what sexism is, how to avoid it, and how to stand up for women and/or yourself. You might have read some basic Feminist literature or thought in passing, and thought that it was pretty good. Sometimes you baulk a little at overtly identifying yourself as a Feminist due to the negative stigma. Don't be ashamed of being right! Just keep on doing what you're doing and exploring more ways to treat everyone with respect because of their humanity, not their parts, and you're helping to fix the problem!
I think of a "feminist" as simply a person who believes that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men (and I certainly consider myself one), but I acknowledge that the word has accumulated some negative connotations (namely that feminists believe in the superiority of women and see most men as oppressors). Honestly, I'm careful about using the word (and I always feel the need to explain what it means when I do use it) because of the potential for semantic misunderstandings, and I also know better than to automatically assume someone who says they aren't a feminist is an anti women's rights bigot who wants to return to 1950s-style gender roles.
