It's really not. We don't talk this about things that we consider ours, that we're really excited about. What is apparent is not only the desire to signal support, it's the skepticism, the desire to draw lines that would safely exclude a lot of feminist advocates as part of that "further"-ness that is -- depending on who you ask -- anywhere from mildly dramatic to nutty and unhinged. The wariness of the term comes through, and so does the reality that it is viewed as an "other people's thing".
How do you guys feel about Nebraska fandom? Well, I know a lot of Nebraska fans and I support that but really a lot of people take it too far. How do you feel about opposing racism? Yeah, I think everyone supports that and I'm happy for the advocates but the thing is there are people who just go nuts with it and that's a shame, and besides, we're all pretty equal already. It's (sorry -- to be clear, I'm not directing this at you, Guy Chamberlain) talking about feminism like I'd talk about conservatism -- as much as I respect a diversity in viewpoints, it's something I fundamentally and strongly disagree with it, and IMO the only relevant understanding of it today is all the crackpots that abound, which it (conservatism) has produced.
Feminism should belong to all of us, it should be our own thing, and why not? The lack of equality, in so many dimensions, is an affront to everybody. Let's all take it personally.
