I still cringe every time I hear a woman say "I'm not a feminist but..." It makes me think that many women believe that if they take up that title, it puts them in the bull's eye for being spit on. What is a feminist? To me it's someone who believes in the inherent strength and dignity of women and who will stand up against anyone who puts women down -- or worse -- simply because they are women. And if that means standing up for all facets of what makes us all human - men and women - and not some traditional ideas, well more power to that as well.
