OK...here's my two cents....

I view a feminist as someone who stands up and supports issues of interest to women. Back in the 1970s Betty Friedan was someone I considered a feminist. Somewhere along the way, certain people started attaching the feminist label to lesbian women and causes. I don't know why.
Just because you stand up for womens rights doesn't mean YOU HATE MEN. It just means, in my opinion, you want EQUAL RIGHTS.

Peace & Blessings,
