A woman saying she is not a feminist is like a man saying he doesn’t masturbate.  It just isn’t right.  In a recent interview, global super star Taylor Swift says while she believes in equality between men and women, she does not identify as a feminist.

I am confused?  Isn’t that what a feminist is?  Like seriously… that is exactly what it means.

Why do so many women avoid labeling themselves feminist? Is it because they fear guys will think its unsexy and assume they have *gasp* pubic hair?  What is the trepidation of honoring your gender and publically decreeing the value of being respected as a human?

Did I miss the memo that in order to be desired by men, never let them think you actively notice the abundance of sexism that exists in the world. Call me crazy, but last time I checked most guys were interested in pussy, and will still fuck you even if you call yourself a feminist.

All of our personalities are shaped by a cultural interpretation of gender, and part of the female experience in the modern era is dealing with the very real circumstance of chauvinism.  I look forward to the day this discussion is irrelevant, but since we are not there yet, I want to make sure I raise my daughter to be an ultra feminist and proud of it!
