The F-word

For women in my generation, calling yourself a "feminist" can be tricky territory, depending on whom you're talking to and the connotations that sometimes tag along accordingly.

I like this definition.
"In a nutshell, it goes like this: View men and women as equals; see your gender as neither an obstacle to success nor an excuse for failure; laugh at yourself occasionally; get out of bed in the morning; don't forget to vote." -Meghan Daum

By this explanation, ladies and gentleman, I am a feminist.
