(41,832 posts)35. LOL - believe me, I've always
spoken up. I guess I was a first wave person if it is what I think it is.
I was active at my university in the late 1960's for women's rights. I even went to a bra-burning, but I was too chickenshit to do anything more than clap and cheer. The anti-war movement ( a bunch of chauvinist pigs) was also something I did, but more the lighting candles and singing and crap at my liberal church. I couldn't stand the SDS people...as I put in parenthesis above. They were completely dismissive of any female input and pretty much wanted the "girls" to get coffee and be available.

OP
I think I am a radical egalitarian. I am a man, and am not sure I can be a feminist.

I am a feminist. I identify more closely with Intersectionality theory than with the "waves". n/t

All the people in my life are feminists. Men and women. And they always have been.
