It reminds me of heated debates I've sat through in women's groups as to whether transgender people should be allowed to join. I don't think there ever were any actual transgender people wanting to join and I'm sure if there were they would have been perfectly pleasant and we'd have all just got along fine, so the whole debate struck me as a bit pointless. But then I'm a bad feminist too. I think you are right - feminism should be about doing what you want to do, not taking any crap from anyone, and being good to the women around you. Long live the bad feminist sisterhood! Isn’t the point of feminism to challenge orthodoxies and dogmas?
