Erica Jong Defends Feminist Revolution

[ismnotwasm]

4. Whoa there, friend I was talking, specifically

More about young women who DO NOT self identify as feminists. How the word feminist seems off putting. I self identify as one and find more agreement than resistance regarding feminism in this group of well educated young women.

In fact one of the ones who does self identify as a feminist is a very attractive woman, gets Botox and other beauty treatments regularly. We have great conversations, and as you say "who am I" to say she is not a feminist? She most certainly is.

I have nothing against being attractive. Or self decoration. I do it myself. On my terms.

I'm not sure how you drew your conclusion of that i was judging who is a feminist or not from a rather vague post, so..

Let me turn the question around. Do you think woman Have healthy body images? If so, why?
And while we're at it, what is your definition of a feminist?
