| | scribblingwoman: Whither "feminist"? |
 | | Being a "personist" may be a philosophy (though I would frame it much differently, and the term "human rights" would be in there somewhere); being a humanist certainly is; but being a feminist is a commitment, to oneself and to others. |
 | | And if they call you a big hairy-legged bulldyke ball-breaker, that's their problem. |
 | | Oddly enough, although I've never been accused of the bulldyke, hairy-legged thing (I may be top, but I am also pretty femme), male colleagues always say I 'communicate like a man' -- especially in public. |
