feminist critique

I came across a statement in one of the feminist blogs that I disagree with. In Jason Boas’s blog he states; “However, using the basic definition I found it would be difficult to say that any rational person, including myself, could say that they were not a feminist”. His definition was; “In the most basic sense, feminism is exactly what the dictionary says it is: the movement for social, political, and economic equality of men and women”. I have to disagree with this because there are many people who are rational and don’t consider themselves a feminist. There could be a number of different reasons why people don’t consider themselves feminists. One reason could be that the person misunderstands what it means to be a feminist. Another could be that people just don’t want women equal to men. Some men might be scared that women could be better than they are in certain aspects, like in the work place. Some people might see women as inferior beings that don’t deserve to on the same level with men. There are people out there, men and women, who don’t consider themselves feminists, whatever there reason may be.
