^ It is no because you're a sub?

-turns humor off-

It's because I have Straw Feminist in my profile

-turns humor back on-

I love any and all movements that promote equality and allow individuals to live their lives however they choose, so long as they're not encroaching on the rights of others.

Woo, feminism!

^^ Why does your profile page redirect to the Home Page?

Because under scores are subjected to extreme prejudice.

Check my sig out, yo.

Christina Hoff Sommers is .

Also dig Julia Serrano- and anyone sex-pos, non-transphobic, and who admits that men are also people who have to live up to unreasonable gender stereotypes as well. (Yes, guys run things, but...)

I don't know any specific names, but anyone who supports an egalitarian and pro-sex viewpoint is likely OK with me.

Also, AHR, just my opinion, but I think you are doing yourself a disservice by identifying as a Straw Feminist.

I'd rather label my strongest feelings as negative, and be cautious about them, then assume they are righteous, and be convinced I cannot be wrong.

Well, it's your choice. You are free, after all.

^ Of course: Her body account, her choice.

I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but I think it's unfair to say a feminist can't have interests that happen to match up with traditional gender roles.

Interests are one thing, but right-wing politics tends towards preserving policy rather than changing and reacting. I think that is at odds with feminism.

Feminism is teh kewlz. :3

I should point out, though, that I don't vote for Democrats so much as I vote against Republicans. These days, it seems like all the current parties fall somewhere on a one-dimensional spectrum where one end is labeled "shitheaded" and the other is labeled "impotent." The Democrats are closest to the middle; they're not so much the "lesser of two evils" as they are the "least unhappy medium."

Join the club.

Actually, if there were one, we'd have a halfway decent political party going on.

Thirded.

Politics: The game of trying to find the lesser evil.

Finding the lesser evil is a sucker's game, for it enables the supposed lesser evil to engage in all kinds of scandalous behavior, so long as they are one shade less evil than their opponent.

And that's why governments tend to be the way they are. Unfortunately.

Seconding Christina Hoff Sommers. I think the following quote of hers summarizes it perfectly:

"And if it bothers you that I identify as a feminist, just remember that it bothers the gender warriors at Jezebel more."

Also Lauren Faust.
