Feminism doesn't mean supporting/endorsing everything every woman does. It's about ensuring equal opportunities. There's nothing inconsistent, for example, about saying 'As a feminist, I don't support Michelle Bachmann's work'
A lot of misogyny is unconscious. Some of the most vicious misogeny is from women towards other women. One insidious form of it is “selective feminism” - a theoretical support of other women that really only applies to women that we like.

But women are people. Do we support someone just because they are female? I did not agree with Warren's policies or her excuses for why people didn't vote for her. I think a lot of people were hoping that she would be the stronger candidate. She wasn't. Am I a misogynist?

I’m not talking about whether or not we support people politically. That’s in the realm of honorable debate. I’m talking about whether or not we demonize other women, judge them unfairly etc - particularly in ways we would not do to men.

Right on, and we saw a lot of that towards you, many women looking to make you out as crazy, and to subordinate you because you spoke a different language The unfortunate part, is that you are speaking the right language, which makes it clear how far we are from awakening.
