I'm a feminist because I believe in equality. Now, don't start to shout "feminazi" at me, I'm not a radical feminist. I just simply think that we should have equality. True equality, not the "women are allowed to vote and work, so stfu" kind. People should be allowed to be themselves and to express that, and that includes but is not limited to transgenders, genderqueers, and other identities that doesn't fit the "norm" of society. The norm itself serves no purpose, and should be critically thought about. When even the glasses at the optician are separated into "Men's" and "Women's", something is wrong. Glasses have nothing to do with the sex chromosomes.

I had to look up this term, and it seems it's a word used to try to either escape the negative connotations people have with the word "feminism", or by people are affected by those connotations themselves. On paper the ideologies seem pretty similar, but I don't want subscribe to a belief that seem to be created, at least in part, to throw blame on feminism. Not until I've done further research.

I resent my characterisation as a Thatcherite >.>
