In the past, I explicitly called myself a feminist. Recently, some folks (mostly women) have in essence said men really can't be feminists and should just shut up and go away. So I stopped. But that's bullshit, as John Scalzi points out in the link. So: yes, I'm a feminist, and have been for as long as I can remember....

And if you want a clear example of why I stopped calling myself a feminist for a while, I give you this comment on Scalzi's post (which a number of women quickly disagreed with): http://whatever.scalzi.com/2014... - walt crawford
Women who say men can't be feminists are unclear on the concept, in my opinion. - Spidra Webster
In that stream of comments, she was a minority of one. - walt crawford
