I think the "You're one of us regardless" is more a not so great attempt at trying to say "by my understanding of the definition you are a feminist" but without actually explaining anything. It'd definitely annoying, but it's more a reaction to the extremists muddying the waters than anything else imho.

(Also just want to add I think you're dealing with all these comments with a very good attitude and explaining yourself well. A lot of people would get defensive and angry and stoop to mocking people for being Anon. Good for you for being awesome in the face of controversy.)

Thanks anon! I was trying to answer you yesterday but my power cut out, damn storm :-/

I agree that that's what's being said. I just think it has some really unfortunate implications. I think the strength of feminism is all it's done for women and the way that so many smaller and diverse submovements provide options for many women who want to focus on many different issues or axes of oppression.

But I think the major weakness of the movement is that for all its diversity, its members can get startlingly one true way. All the while insisting that because feminism is a broad umbrella, any discomfort someone feels is "false consciousness" or "internalized misogyny" or failure to "check" privilege of one kind or another.

And I wouldn't mock people for being anon, usually. :-) Personally I try to put my name on things because I feel it's generally nobler, but it does open you up to a lot of nastiness and wank. I can't say I always put my name on things myself, nor can I blame those who choose not to. :-)
