Being treated like a lady is not the same thing as being a feminist. I am a feminist, but still want to be treated like a lady -- totally different issues. I don't want to be restricted from doing something solely because of my gender.
Without feminists behind you, you wouldn't have your own website, you wouldn't be able to own property, it wouldn't be 'proper' for you to live on your own. Get divorced? You're a fallen women, don't even think about it. It surely wouldn't be appropriate for me to do what I do for a living.
Feminism is not about women bitching about having doors opened for them. Equal rights are still a struggle. One issue that's been tehre for years, and effects a lot of the women here -- many medical insurance companies won't cover birth control for any reason. Why? Isn't birth control cheaper than actual maternity care?
