I agree, and I've been saying the exact same thing almost to the letter since I was 15.

It really disturbs me whenever I hear an educated woman talking about how she "hates feminists." Without feminists, women wouldn't have the right to vote, or be able to hold their own property, divorce, wear pants, work outside the home in any job but teacher, nurse and secretary. They wouldn't be allowed to choose not to have children. Girls wouldn't have the option to do any high school sport except cheerleading . . . and that's just the beginning. I wouldn't be surprised if the founders of our sororities were all feminists in some way or another, since many of them were going to college in a time when most women didn't -- by furthering their education and creating fraternities similar to what the men did, they were displaying some sort of feminist behavior.

To me, it's crazy to see a woman who is obviously reaping the benefits of feminism (she played softball in high school, wears jeans on a regular basis, votes in every election and works as a businesswoman) claim she hates feminists. It's cool to see that so many of yall have seen the "feminists=man-hating lesbians" myth for what it is.
