My friends all call me a hypocrite because I get with guys a lot and still call myself a feminist but it's not like I do it to please guys I do it because I enjoy it? Also a guy I've got with a few times calls himself a feminist even though he gets with quite a few girls and my friends say that's wrong? Help please

You can do whatever you want and still call yourself a feminist. We see this all the time. There are feminists who shamelessly hate men and they call themselves feminists. There are thousands of self-identified feminists who took part in #KillAllMen and they consider themselves feminists. There is also Christina Hoff Sommers and a few equity feminists that actually believe in equality and they call themselves feminists.



Apparently, you can act any way you wish and call yourself a feminist, and no other feminist will ever call you out. That's what I've witnessed anyway.



On the flip side, you can believe in a dictionary definition of equality, which aligns with the dictionary definition for feminism, and be called an "anti-feminist" for going against something that some hateful prominent feminists believe in. I see a lot of that too.

Sure. You can be with whoever you like when you choose to. I find it amusing that some users in this section think a person's life suddenly changes by identifying as a feminist. They try to redefine feminism as man hatred when that's not what the movement was intended for. Unless women's rights are brought up in conversation- and they usually aren't- no can establish who is feminist or anti-feminist. You're just a regular woman or man.

Of course you can get with a lot of guys if you are a feminist and vice versa. Most feminists like guys; some are guys - it's NEVER been about man-hating as so many trolls here pretend.

Part of being equal is excepting people an there sexual prefrence and behavior as long as you an your friend are being responsible adults and taking proper precautions with the people you sleep with this really shouldnt be an issue you are looking to be treated equal an alot of people have the misconception that if you are a feminist you are an anti man woman who wants to rule the world an is super uptight anout its a stereotype belief usually coined feminazi by some an this is coming from a guy defending you

There is no such thing as shame when you're a feminist. You could f*ck a dog, your uncle, whatever or whoever you want to f*ck and if someone doesn't approve of it then they're "shaming" you. Feminism blames people with standards who point out your disgusting behavior, not you and your c*m guzzling ways.

Feminists and male chauvinist sexual puritans have a great deal in common.



Even their own can't deny there's a problem -- that's why there's "sex-positive feminism."

Feminism: the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.



Why CAN'T you both be feminists? Just because you (or your male friend) have several partners doesn't mean you can't campaign for women's rights! That doesn't mean you have to stop doing the things you like.

A feminist simply believes men and women should be treated equally.



It has nothing to do with what kind, or how much sex you like.



Your friends are confusing sexuality with feminism. They are not the same. (By their standards, nuns would be the "most" feminist because they have no sex...but usually they are pretty on board with institutional inequality)

As long as sex is consenting and everyone is clear on what's going on as far as future expectations it's perfectly in keeping with feminism to shag as many people as you want. And that goes for guys and girls and anyone else as well.

Promiscuity is the only achievement feminism has brought women, so yes I would say you can. Women are pitiful though.

I do t see an issue as long as you are treated with respect and respect the other person.The same goes for the guy.

Why not be a person first, who supports ideas, and ideals.



All the labels isn't helping you, or others.
