This is actually, unusually, a productive thing to be doing on Twitter. Building some bridges & letting ppl know non-feminist options exist.

I worry abt ppl - often young - who think ur either feminist or anti-equality. But feminism has much counterproductive ideological baggage.

You don't have to come from perspective of 1 gender or take on ideas of patriarchy & cultural constructivism to support gender equality.

I get on well w/ Retired Liberal Feminists, Equity Feminists &Non-intersectional Liberal Feminists w/ a high threshhold of sexism-detection!

I mostly have conflict with intersectional (3rd wave) feminists & occasionally radfems.

I don't even know what any of that means. I consider myself to be a feminist because I want equality for everyone.

Because you're using the word 'feminist' as synonymous with 'the aim for gender equality' rather than any partic theories or tenets?

I guess so. It was only on Twitter that I started learning that there are "types" of feminism.

Very much so. They nearly all accept patriarchy theory & cultural constructivism unfortunately so many ppl don't really fit.
