Yessssssss.

Andrew (<3 huge blogger crush) can always be counted on for great links.

Today is no exception.

Did you know that feminists have better romantic relationships?

It's true.

What's crazy to me is that we are actually talking about this. Of course it's true.

But it's nice to have a little proof.

So here's a blogger question: How many of you would self-identify as feminists? That is to say, how many of you agree with basic feminist beliefs? Regardless of how you identify, how do you think it impacts your views on relationships/actual relationships?

I'm genuninely curious. I hope I get some responses. I might even write up a little response of my own.

I think if I took a quiz I would come out as being a feminist, but I am hesitant to call myself one.

I only took one women's studies course in college. I don't check any feminism blogs. I have never posted on the subject, probably because I don't know much about it. But you know, you can know a decent amount about women and not know that much about feminism. I think that is where I am at. And from my position of limited knowledge I would classify myself as a bit of a feminist.

How about you just make a survey for all of us to take and have a neat, quirky scoring system that will help determine our feministiness?

you know aaron, I never answer that question, "Are you a feminist?" I used to say, "YES because JESUS is a feminist!!!" but instead I say, "What do you mean by feminism?" because you get a zillion billion different responses. "Do you like, hate men?" "Do you think women should be in charge of everything?" "Do you think gender doesn't matter?" "Are you a lesbian?"

As for your relationships question-- It's been hard to find a man to walk all over being as my feminism compels me to both hate men and ignore gender. No one is responding to that personals ad ?!? I think it's because of patriarchy. * sigh *

My teacher defines feminism as a person looking for equal, or situationally equal rights for males and females. We have addressed the stereotypical feminist and bashed that stereotype, at least in our class. Many people though, like Bryce said, would be hesitant about calling themselves feminists. I think that is interesting.

That is cool that you posted this because we were talking about feminism like two weeks ago in my gender class. And my prof did concur with the article's findings.

I am not a Femmi. There are gender specifc jobs and roles. i.e. I am a teacher and my husband works construction. This might be kinda of BOLD but I think the man has the final word. Hope all is well Aaron.
