It's because I'm a feminist that I can't stand women limiting other women's imaginations. It really makes me angry.
I'm happy to say I'm a feminist. Being a feminist is just believing in equal rights. Man, woman, gay, straight, black, white - we're all in it together.
Pro-life feminists believe in women and their ability. Pro-choice feminists only see women as weak and something to be exploited.
I understand this fear of the word 'feminism,' and I understand the fear of saying it because it becomes as divisive as 'sexism' has become. But I know a lot of male feminists.

Now I would say I'm absolutely a feminist writer.
I think I was a feminist before being born. I had a feminist chromosome somewhere.
In 1995, I was thrust into the role of reluctant, flag-waving feminist and emotionally-focused artist/advocate.

My nature is feminist. How could you not be a feminist and be alive? The world is full of brilliant, interesting women.
