Feminism

Feminism is the radical notion that women are people. Period. If you find something objectionable about this "ism," perhaps you should consider a sex change. Any other agenda attached to the word "feminist" is not feminism, it is politics, and there for you to agree or not agree with. You took umbrage at being narrowly categorized as a Republican because readers felt certain of your views jived with those of Republicans; do not dismiss "feminism" because of agendas to which you take exception that have been attached to feminism by other than feminists...or even by some feminists. People wouldn't still be proud of being Christians if the only image they had of Christianity was the Spanish Inquisition.
