I used the term feminist because that's how these women identify themselves. Perhaps I should go back and add inverted commas.
But yeah, agree with you there. For a long time I called myself an 'equalist' or 'humanist', because all the 'feminists' I'd met in university were of the separatist lesbian type who advocated consigning men to an inferior role. And I wasn't the only one of my peer group who thought like that. As you say, it hurts the cause.
