    When I hear a woman say “I’m not a feminist” my first thought is “WHY THE HELL NOT??”

      For the same reason they oppose public health, public school, trans rights, diversity, equity, and inclusion. They literally don’t know what they are.

        I know at least 2 Republicans that when you actually talk about individual policy preferences it comes across as moderate democrat. One of them was a virulent PRO masker because of their job.

        I think people just don’t pay attention to actual policies, it’s all just the soundbites and controversy.

      Perhaps their understanding of feminism has come from the violently extreme “kill all men” types of feminists or the opposing “get back in the kitchen” type of conservative shitbags making up all sorts of scary and mean things about them.
