You shouldn't getting a medal for being a feminist. Everyone should be a feminist, and it should be non-controversial, because it just means treating women as if the were people because they actually are people.

Ok, but I'm a Princess Leia feminist: She did everything the boys did and stood up to Vader while being tortured. (Though she also kissed her brother...)

It's 3rd and 4th wave feminism where they lose me.

In fact, all "punish the people of the present for the sins of the past" movements lose me. My grandfather was railroaded by Woodrow Wilson and had to spend 5 years in Leavenworth for sedition. Doesn't mean I deserve anything.

@obastard Feminism isn't punishing men, unless they deserve it, lots of them have deserved it, but if you're treating people equally then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. But there are radicals like in every group, and there are also victims who have been hurt so often they are understandably wary.
