I think there are a lot of ways to define the term, and this leads to its misunderstanding.
I'm all for feminism in the sense of equal opportunity. And by the way, this includes the opportunity to choose something that the hard core "feminists" might disapprove of. Like becoming a SAHM. Some would say that's an affront to feminism. I disagree, because isn't making your own choices for your own life an empowering thing?
I have a great job, in fact I earn about 2 times as much as my husband. Feminism made it possible for me to accomplish that (well, feminism and also a heck of a lot of hard work on my part!). However, I am not a burn the bra man hater. There's a difference.
