Well, your opinions and feelings can't possibly be what counts because if that were true then the feminist blogosphere wouldn't be in this constant state of calling each other out. They'd be like, we feel this and then they'd be, I don't know, doing things? But they're pretty much screaming all the time, so I think that what you feel and think might not have as much to do with it as what you do! But unfortunately I am not out having all that sex they're always talking about, so I think I'm SOL on the feminism tip. I also don't get as angry as they do about the stuff they get angry about? So I was looking for another basis but as you and my other friend have pointed out, living alone is not that basis! And I don't really feel like I have another one. I mean, yes, I'm comfortable being a woman in any situation--to the extent that I can make the claim that I am a woman--and I think that it shouldn't keep me from doing things, but the whole "I think that women are people" thing is obviously not enough to qualify as being a feminist.
