Feminism has become too big a word or umbrella to now try to control how people self-identify with it... if we're pro-self-identification here... I think of myself as an individualist feminist, but I don't agree with all the new new waviness coming out.

I don't think because a woman is a feminist in past time and the movement has changed significantly and that individual chooses not to adopt those new(er) views, doesn't mean they are not a feminist...

Just the same, we shouldn't kick lesbians out of the LGBT because they don't agree with newer views on Transgenderism... it completely contradicts the purpose of those movements being about acceptance... there shouldn't be an ultimatum.

Anyway, I'm not arsed whether myself is accepted me as a feminist or not because I could care less... but I just think it's uncomfortable for me as a woman to see other people go through, that we've now determined all women must all agree or check certain boxes before they can be accepted into the feminist movement...

It really makes me think of Christianity, where there was one this unifying church... and now there's all these different movements/denominations and obviously agendas within it because that's how separatist the movement has become...
