About This Quote

I feel like we should stop calling feminists "feminists" and just start calling people who aren't feminist "sexist" -- and then everyone else is just human (and they're not as bad as the rest of them, anyway). It's a very accurate statement about how annoying it can be when someone is known as a feminist. Most people don't know what the word feminism means. They assume that if they call themselves a feminist, they must be a good person and certain (but they're not sure what) and they'd like to be one of those specific people.

And then, once they find out that the word itself actually refers to a specific political/social/economic/social movement, most just aren't interested in learning about it. They don't want to learn about someone else's opinions. They don't want to learn about people different from them.
