Yes, this. My problem with the "you should not call yourself egalitarian, you MUST call yourself a feminist if you agree with wanting equality for all people or else you are doing it wrong and are a misogynist". Why is it so hard to understand that some people might not want to use a certain label for several reasons and choose another one instead? The way some people keep going on trying to pressure everyone into saying they're a feminists is getting very annoying.

I'll be honest, I get not wanting to be associated with the extremists, but it makes me so damn sad to see the label be lost to them.

Particularly because the women we owe so much to -- the women who got us the right to vote and fought for equal pay -- called themselves feminists.

I just don't want to see it lost.

I mean. I don't think you should pressure someone into a label, at all, that's just a bad idea for several reasons.

But I'm not going to pretend it doesn't annoy men when people go around parroting basically wrong ideas about what feminism is because they chose to listen to extremists - people other feminists actively decry as extremists - and reject feminism for that reason.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-16 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
This. It doesn't help that 90% of the time those people are quite happy to ignore similar problems in their own movements/groups... or claim it doesn't count, because - unlike feminists who don't get that "extremists" are actually also feminists and thus totally representative of all feminists - these are ACTUAL extremists and not part of [insert group/movement they're part of], so it's completely unfair to reject them just because of that.

I mean, I don't label myself as feminist either, but that's after educating myself about the current wave and I sure as hell won't label myself egalitarian.
