Yes, you got it covered.
(I can imagine your reaction if a woman told you that you certainly were not masculine. )
Masculine, in his world, means a guy who is capable of bulling, insulting and intentionally misrepresenting others.

Since it seems to bother you enough that people are actually posting in your thread that you feel the need to count them repeatedly, I'll stop here and let you keep the high score.
Fact is, chrys, you can't pigeon-hole me. I'm a strong believer in women and men both. I've worked outside the home and chose to be a stay-at-home mom. I was as skilled in my career as I am in making the flakiest pie crust you've ever had. I've put on my heels and gone to the office and I've stood for hours in the kitchen making home-made dinners, barefoot and pregnant. I'm pro-life. Being a mom is a joy, and the things my sons write in my mother's day cards would put the lie to what you think of my femininity and it's their opinion that matters to me, not yours.
I'm also very aware that there are men out there and right here in this forum* who have little use for women except in the roles that those men want to define for us. And they want pliable, submissive, unquestioning, biddable women so they can feel superior.
Sorry I wasn't able to help you out with that.
*And I appreciate the men here who are not at all like the men described above. I know who they are, and they know I don't include them in the above.
why do I need to know that?
and
why did it take over 60 posts to make that point?
this is not about you
this is not about me
it is about them, the feminists
you know they are out there
you know what they are doing
are you with them?
or
are you against them?
it is that simple

How did you manage to wind anna up so tight?
it's the hell-bound tard-brigade! :chuckle:
Oh, you believe others have joined your brigade ...
Not every thread is your personal bridge, koban.
Why does he need to define feminism in order for this thread to have productive conversation? He wants to know who identifies as a feminist by whatever definition they have. No one needs to worry about getting boxed in by a particular definition because they can give their meaning of the word with their yes/no answer.
Of course, no one has to play by chrys' rules but I think it's wrong to say that this thread can go nowhere until he provides his own definition.
ok, now you've lost me. :chuckle: Asking about who identifies as a feminist is fine but in this post you are clearly referring to a particular conception.
I am against those who want abortion on demand and think that any anti-abortion man hates women and wants to control their bodies. I'm against those that want to idolize promiscuous women to get equality with promiscuous men. I'm against those who criticize a woman for choosing to be a stay at home mother. I'm against the thought that any recognition of gender differences is an attack on women. The Daily Beast article I mentioned earlier quoted a book called Sexual Personae
Feminism
That last line goes too far though.
I support political and economic and religious equality.
I support a woman's choice to have a career with or without children.
Now you'd have to tell me how much of that matches your conception and what I missed.

Well, he doesn't though, that's the point. As usual with Chrys nowadays, any thread like this has a feeble agenda attached so it was not unreasonable to get him to define what feminism actually meant. It likely sticks in his craw that it's not as simplistic as he would prefer as even he would be classed as a feminist by some by supporting the rights of women to vote.
Unless they're democrats...
