See, I can understand choosing to call ones self an 'equalist' intead of a feminist, but I have to admit to a visceral, gut reaction of being annoyed with how many women are setting aside the word feminist.
Paritally because I feel that it disassocaites with all our foremothers who fought for the rights we all have, and partially because I feel that it somehow implicitly implies that sexism is... less of a blatant, specific problem than it is.
Now, I'm not saying that men don't have unfair things to deal with regarding our culture, but they certainly don't have anywhere near the systematic pressures against them that women do.
And nothing gets me more frustrated than girls going, 'I'm not a feminist' with no codial, or instead of 'I actually label myself as...'
And Rue just gets more and more huggable as the series goes on.
