[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men - What do you think when a woman says she is a feminist?

What do you think if a woman says she isn't a feminist?

How much does it matter what political stance she has?
Liberal who isn't a feminist or conservative who isn't a feminist or liberal who is a feminist or conservative who is a feminist?

What are your immediate reactions?[/quote]

Immediate reaction is that she's either clueless or a demagogue.

[b]Then, when the check arrives, I ask her if she's planning to cover it full or better half half.[/quote][/b]

Wow!  I don't think you go on many second dates.  If you invited me to a date, than you pay.  If I invited you than I pay.  It is pretty simple.  You shouldn't use feminism to be a cheap bastard.[/quote]

Dated very well and happily married, sweetie :-)

A real feminist doesn't believe in all that traditional and sexist dating nonsense, so this is a great way to put them to the test. [/quote]

Wait, did I miss out on some kind of guidebook on how to be a "real" feminist? Am I now disqualified from feminism for dating? [/quote]

Of course not!

You are only disqualified from being a feminist if, in practice, you expect the guy to pay most of the time.

In my experience this is a common expectation in the US and one that would horrify European women -- perhaps that's why they have so many women Prime Ministers there, I just thought of five in five seconds!

If the person who invites me on a DATE, than yes I expect him or her to pay unless we made it clear from the beginning that we are going dutch.  If I invited a man or woman to do something than I would pay.  Also, you really don't know how happily you are married,  pp.  You spouse may not be and too afraid to tell you, Sweetie![/quote]
