I was at a restaurant with some friends and their mutual friends last night, and a couple of them I was in conversation with started talking about inequality and Feminism. They asked me what I thought and if I was a Feminist myself and I said no, but I'm totally for equality for all and consider myself a strong Liberal.
You can't imagine the uproar. They told me I wasn't for equality because I'm not a Feminist. They said stuff like I want women to fail in life and whatever.
I told them this is why I couldn't date a Feminist, because they'd always see me as the enemy when I'm a friend.
Why is it that Feminists in general see it as bad that I'm not one?

Because you're saying you're not something you are.

But why do I have to be considered a Feminist when I don't want to? Like I consider myself an Egalitarian, not a Feminist. I don't want to be sucked into it.

Yes feminists are vile. This is typical feminist behaviour. Feminism is not about equality, it is a self serving agenda.

Indeed you are but if you break it down you are a Feminist and whatever the titles are for the other two

I don't know about 'vile', but they definitely are quite sectarian.

You do know Feminists are the first to have promoted equality, right?

He doesn't consider himself a feminist, so you shouldn't make him identify as one. It would be like calling everyone a Christian if they believed in God, ignoring the other theistic religions.

Feminists are very unfeminine women. Would you date a feminist?

OP, being a feminist is not a dirty word. By definition if you believe in equal rights for women you are a feminist. Yes you can say you're an egalitarian as you believe in equal rights for all, but believing in equal rights for women falls under being a feminist. why is that a problem?

I believe in rights for everyone so I'm egalitarian. I think we can establish that now.

These women are clearly militants who believe that in an absolutist view that your either with them or against them.
I myself support the concept of feminism (equality under the law) however I would never associate myself with the modern mainstream movement which is full of militant feminazi's.

You can not be both feminist and a decent kind polite thoughtful nice friendly fun human being. Theyre mutually exclusive

But this isn't true. The whole point of feminism is achieving equal rights for women and men's liberation - i.e. deconstructing gender roles. For you to even suggest that it's 'vile' or a 'self-serving agenda' shows how ignorant you are of the issue and what little understanding you have on it. If you actually knew what feminism was without falsely believing the crap of 'feminists think women are better than men', your view would be a lot different
