I do believe that women should have equal rights to men, but my resolve differs to yours because I believe they already do. It would make more sense for me to assert that I believe women should continue to have equal rights to men. In my experience and research, you are the minority in your kind of feminism, I would call you an egalitarian before I ever called you a feminist. Most of the things I've posted about attacking feminism, you agree with and begin to tell me thats not what most feminists believe. You would have to convince me the majority of feminists saw things the way you do. Theres an anti-ex-feminist blogger girlwriteswhat who seems to represent your sort of thinking except the belief women are universally treated unequally and was crucified by her feminist community for agreeing with some of the arguments against feminism, and indeed those represented here.
Of course there are going to be people within a community who share a fundemnetal belief, but disagree with other beliefs that branch off. For example, im one of very few atheists who happen to believe that reincarnation is a naturally occuring part of the universe. I was often critisized for it since it can be viewed as going against an atheists primary belief that evidence is required for any sort of rational understanding, but in this case I think there is. I just need to learn how I am able to express this in a manner which makes sense to others. I think its the philosopher in me that brings out this case though.
