Women running away from identifying themselves as feminist

It makes sense. Most women who call themselves feminists are pro-equality and are not in favor of special treatment for women. If the "feminist" name is being corrupted by extremists, it's only sensible to switch to the word "humanist" which everyone recognizes as being pro-equality.

Reminds me of some people I know... they want massive real cuts to government spending (not just the "I want cuts but I can't name thing I'd cut" kind), and much less government control over people's lives at both the federal and state level. But they just can't bring themselves to support the Tea Party, when so much extremist nonsense has corrupted the whole purpose of the movement.

I wish the term feminist wasn't beginning to be tied with anti-male sentiments. I don't call myself a feminist because of that. But then because I refuse to call myself a feminist, some people think that means I'm anti-equality.
