Am I a feminist?
I do consider myself to be a feminist because I am actively and proudly living in a way towards my best conception of a progressive idea of gender. I acknowledge that women are oppressed globally and want to join the fight against it. I also consider my feminist because I try to live in a way that is feminist, progressive, and I am proud to be called a feminist.
My politics ...
As far as politics go I'm fairly middle of the road but I do have some radical leanings. I believe in full access to safe and legal abortion and birth control. I am very into revisionist history, and into attempting to reappropriate the things that can't be let go. I'm very anti-pornography, and I don't think "bitch" will ever be taken back. Public school is a big deal to me, specifically the sorry state of American public schools. Gender; I think there needs to be a gender uprising, I want "man" and "woman" to matter less and less, I want children to be socialized to be themselves first, not a girl or boy first.
The rest of me ...
I'm in college, a literature major and a women's studies minor, and I plan on going to graduate school for women's studies. I live in Florida with my partner and my two pet rats, I love to read, get crafty, play video games, drink scary amounts of coffee, interpose French into my everyday conversation, and buy Sanrio trinkets.

Am I a feminist?
I am a feminist because I believe that all human beings are entitled to equal opportunities and fair treatment. When I apply this to mean that women deserve equaliy to men, then I am expressing feminist views. Unapologetic.
Politically...
I tend towards anarchistic ideals, valuing independence from governmental rule. I tend to avoid labels because I cannot be defined by either/or. Some of my views are liberal, such as towards healthcare. Some of my views would probably be dubbed conservative, such as my disdain for moregun control laws.
Personally...
Currently, I am pursuing my master's degree in English, with hopes of moving to almost the middle of nowhere to either work at a university, or in a small school that is more-or-less isolated. I am looking forward to relocating this summer to either Vermont, New Mexico, or Alaska.
