I think that you should have to appear before the ghosts of Margaret Sanger and Elizabeth Cady Stanton before you are allowed to call yourself a feminist.

The sad thing is that a lot of the women who are loudest about saying "I am part of the feminist cause" are the ones doing crap like this. The end does not justify the means. It's like Naomi Asshat Wolf overstating the number of anorexics and bulimics to prove a point, without thinking about what it will mean in real life. Women who are truly feminists - the ones fighting for equal pay and equal opportunities - are so turned off by the actions of people like this that they're ashamed and embarrassed to even refer to themselves as feminists.

I would hope that the women who make up false reports like this will be shunned and criticized by the feminist movement; unfortunately, some will probably see them as martyrs instead.
