Liberal but not "unenlightened." Feminist but not the "silly, nasty" kind. You may not have intended it, but this feels like buying into the right's narrative. Like me saying "I'm a minority but not the bad kind." As if I'm seeking their approval & validation that I'm acceptable.

I hear you about religion, but consider that from the perspective of evolutionary psychology, anthropology, sociology, etc., “religion” is just another word for ideology.

What do you think of the term "gender egalitarian"? If someone asks me in 2018 if I am a feminist, I say "no, I'm a gender egalitarian".
