The F- Word Revisited Here's an alright article on feminism over on Fox's campus section. I don't think the overall article is that interesting, but there's one section that reminded me of something only slightly more interesting.

What's your definition of feminism? Is it a bunch of butch women holding protests that claim men are responsible for the oppression of women? Is it a woman who won't allow a man to hold open her door, pay for her dinner or walk her home? Is it a woman who only dates other women so she won't have to deal with men?
A classmate in my media ethics class recently posed this question. I was surprised by not only how many people gave a startling definition of feminism but also how many people don't call themselves feminists.

A recent alumna friend of mine told me that she was asked to have dinner with Gloria Steinam when she was visiting the area because of her involvement in student government. (Take that as a warning First Bitch!) Anyway, at the dinner, Gloria started the conversation by asking all of the women if they consider themselves feminists. The answers, coming from students at a women's college, would be obvious to this question, right? Wrong, bitch! (Sorry, couldn't help myself there.) All seven of the students either answered with "no" or one of the "yes, but..." answers. Poor little Gloria was stunned. According to my friend, the rest of the dinner was in spent in silence.
