It means you thin...Feminism doesn't mean manly. It means you think that men and women are equal and should be treated like it. End of story. <br /><br />That was mostly directed at Stephanie.<br /><br />I get what you're saying, though. Sometimes there is pressure to fit into certain stereotypes. You just have to look past that. There are stereotypes with everything and there will always be narrow-minded people who insist that you fill them.<br /><br />I know this is going to be something I elaborate on in the next couple weeks.Ashleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140144477484659684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591570254713333129.post-39151328346409684792011-07-04T13:50:41.314+10:002011-07-04T13:50:41.314+10:00This post really has nothing to do with what anyon...This post really has nothing to do with what anyone (particularly me) believes in and rather a written out examination of my personal acceptance and understanding that has developed over time. I'm not here to argue with anyone about what constitutes a feminist and what doesn't.<br />I have felt pressure from some women who claim to be feminist about my choices and this is essentially how I define my own personal choices, for myself more than anyone else. I really need to make sentences around thoughts to be clear with myself. =)Lilly Pepperminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541281163987722647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591570254713333129.post-69735575912460039592011-07-04T01:00:58.446+10:002011-07-04T01:00:58.446+10:00I won't lie, I'm really not a feminist. I ...I won't lie, I'm really not a feminist. I love the fact that women have power, but I'm not going to assume every man is looking at me like an item he could own if only he knows the right words to say. I shave my legs because hair is NASTY, and I don't want it anywhere but my eyebrows and head. You do what you want, and you look to NOBODY for approval; whether that be other feminists or anyone. Be who you are and call it a night.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00871304840513197549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591570254713333129.post-26866245226568545772011-07-03T15:06:52.510+10:002011-07-03T15:06:52.510+10:00I consider myself a feminist and I shave my legs, ...I consider myself a feminist and I shave my legs, wear make up and dye my hair unnatural colors. Feminism is about women having choices, not about fitting in to a stereotype. There are a lot of misconceptions about what being a feminist means, and the male dominated media have successfully made it into a bad word. The bottom line is this, if you believe men and women are equal, that women have the right to make their own reproductive and sexual choices, and you believe women should be paid the same as men for doing the same job - guess what? You're a feminist!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591570254713333129.post-30884600317131847982011-07-03T14:02:39.050+10:002011-07-03T14:02:39.050+10:00I knew that I was not the only person who felt thi...I knew that I was not the only person who felt this way! =)<br />xxxLilly Pepperminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541281163987722647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591570254713333129.post-31642535259701772612011-07-03T05:16:18.880+10:002011-07-03T05:16:18.880+10:00I agree 100%!

I feel inspired to write a blog on the same subject, but I pretty much agree with everything you say and it would simply be your blog in different words. Anyway, great post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132645466999233983noreply@blogger.com
