Feminism as defined by dictionary.com:
–noun
1. the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.

2. ( sometimes initial capital letter ) an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women.

3. feminine character

Seems pretty broad to me. I would hope most women have characteristics of a feminist such as we are in many ways equal to men. Men are inherently stronger, women have a higher pain threshold (to me it is just tit for tat but obviously a woman can be president and a man can stay at home with the kids).

To me a feminist is someone that doesn't preach equality but proves equality is possible to obtain by fulfilling her own dreams.

It's wrong for someone to think a rape victim asked for it. They may put themselves in vulnerable situations but by no means does that give another the excuse to violate. People are narrow-minded.

I think this is a political issue and there are 3 topics to never bring up without getting into debates - sex, religion, and politics. haha! it's fun though!

My best friend is an extreme liberal and I am a conservative (fiscally) but we just don't get into the details of our opinions and agree to disagree. Feminist issues are the same way there are people that have a simple opinion and people with extreme opinions. It's best to stay somewhat PC unless you don't mind having people disagree with you.
