Probably because feminist has become an insult/dirty word. No one wants to associate themselves with it anymore. 
Really all it means is basic stuff like women and men should get equal pay for the same job.
I think anyone of either sex should feel comfortable saying they're a feminist, but it has rubbish connotations now.

Kudos to Billwill.
Quote: Nat Wicks @ July 9 2012, 6:12 PM BSTWhy do you say that?
I'm just not. Not that I think women are beneath men, not like that at all, they (we) should be equal.
I just don't consider myself one, nothing sinister (I didn't say "I'm not a feminist!" spitting it out in rage ).

I hate it. It's infuriating. To be feminist is nothing more than believing that men and women should have equal rights. To be fair, I've been thinking for a few years of referring to myself as an equalitist rather than feminist, seing as between the militant misandrists and the equally lameballs misogynistic anti-feminists, it's a bit of a ruined name.

Then you've missd the point of feminism entirely!!

Sorry!
The sisterhood forgives you.

Do we not have equal rights?

'Shabbers walked cautiously through the wooded clearing, following the sound of metal splitting wood. Just by his forest hut, she spied billwill, stripped to the waist, chopping logs with his enormous axe as manly sweat poured down his muscular chest. She moved in for a closer look and upon spying the twin dragons adorning the tanned skin of his torso, her loins became flushed with blood. It was then that she realised it was time to put away girlish things and finally embrace her own passionate womanhood...'
There's something about expertly chopped wood that just gets me going.

Legal rights, for the most part yes. Legal rights and the right to equality are very different things though. We are bridging the gap, it just isn't happening fast enough.

Sorry, as a bloke, I am a bit thick. What do you mean by 'right to equality'?
I don't know what feminists think about the title, probably came about from words like socialist and communists, which in themselves are ok, but it's a naff word and I think the guy out of Mad Men would have come with a better term if they had consulted him. Flip it and you get I am a masculinist and you see what I mean!
