I’m Not a Feminist, But…

So another Facebook find, from the group “”I’m Not A Feminist, But…’ Makes me want to bash my head against a wall!”. There is such a fear of the f-word and an utter lack of historical perspective. The number of times I’ve heard “I’m not a feminist, but I support equal rights for women” and then some ridiculing of women who call themselves feminist follows. Is it just the easiest way to make fun of women (like that’s a good thing)? Do people just not stop to think or are they really ignorant of what the legacy of feminism has given them? It’s just sad. This video clip comes down on the ignorance side, I don’t know if it’s so pathetic it’s funny or if its just really really sad.
