<p>I just think the word feminist has too many negative connotations to it. I consider myself an egalitarian, not a feminist (and this extends to all forms of equality - I am anti-homophobia, sexism, racism, ethnocentrism, ageism, etc, etc.). I strive to erase the idea of gender, something wholly different from sex. You are born with a sex, society brands you with a gender.</p>
