should we sing some kind of chorus?
At two a.m. on my way home this morning, I realized that I am a feminist. I am. A feminist. Maybe a closet feminist (can I be that, does that exist?) but it's there all the same. And the reasons I would never yield to believing I was, was men that made me believe you had to be a lesbian to be a feminist. That you couldn't be a mom. That you couldn't be a cute Christian girl and still be a feminist.
But I don't see it like that. And I don't see why I can't have a strong mind and not wear cute jeans. And I don't know if I will put up with any more nights of being degraded and laughed at, however indirectly it might be.

YEA!!!!!
I full-heartedly agree. I love the bumper sticker that says: "Feminism is the radical notion that women are human beings." I think you can be JUST WHO YOU ARE and be a feminist. You GO girl!
Good for you.
Wear those jeans, girl.
It's true. Sometimes, the best way to be a feminist, is to actually be feminine. But not in the silly girly "hey boys look at me" sort of way, but in the I am a woman and therefore have a completely different understanding of the world.
Also, for as emabarassing as it is, I will always and forever love the old Five Iron Frenzy song "One Girl Army."
