86. Sheesh, if someone had told me that being a feminist.....

means that I MUST march in lockstep with other women, that I MUST vote for a female candidate over a male candidate, that I MUST think the same way as all other "feminists".....well, I wouldn't have burned my favorite most comfortable bra!! I want my damn bra back!

In my world, being a feminist means working to advance the rights of women, working to advance equality for women, exercising the rights to educate myself that my fore-sisters and I fought for, exercising the right to think & speak freely that my fore-sisters fought for, exercising the right to vote freely that my fore-sisters fought for, having the right to chose what happens to MY body that I fought.....no one told me that I MUST support and vote for Hillary Clinton.

Shit, I don't want to be a "feminist" anymore.

:sarcasm:
