Sad but true. I'm a feminist but I do a LOT of things that make people tell me I'm a bad feminist. As long as you believe men and women are equal and fight in even a small way for that equality, you're a feminist in my book.

To the OP: There's no arguing with taste, you're gonna like what you like. I do find it kind of appalling that you don't see the sexism in his music, though. I mean, even setting aside the obvious anti-woman element in his music (http://www.jacksonkatz.com/eminem2.html), a 2008 study (http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/brainstorm/200805/does-listening-eminem-make-people-sexist) showed that listening to Eminem's music increased negative attitudes toward women in listeners.
