She could have done so much more with that. Color me disappointed.

Wow. I always thought she had good comedic timing, but this is the most boring prank ever.

I would be surprised if most straight, feminist women don't have their own list of lust objects among male celebrities. I think the struggle against sexual objectification is much more about being relegated to only a sex object, not elimination of any discussion of sexual desire. If Anna Kendrick fits on her husband's…

Uh huh, I use it because it more accurately describes the ideals I would like to see reflected in the world. And no, I'm not an activist, I do not march, I do not picket. That's more of a statement about me(and how lazy I am) than it is about humanism.

I'm not going to label myself based on whichever group of people is…

My last piece wasn't intended to come off as confrontational as you've taken it to be. What I am trying to say is to answer your question of why I come to a place that I don't agree with in it's entirety, which I have done a poor job of.

A better way to state it would be: Discussion and debate may not always change my…

It comes down to my opinions being, as opinions always are, nuanced. I don't think that my feelings towards women's rights is adequately expressed by feminism, and it captures a number of things that I'm not willing to sign my name to. If that makes any sort of sense

Did I ever at any point make a value judgement of how much good a movement has done? No, because that isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about what is ostensibly the GOAL of the movement.

Again, we aren't discussing efficacy we are purely talking about what the movement represents. If you can't understand that…

While I feel the influx of young women in the public eye calling themselves feminists is overall a good thing, it's unfortunate that a lot of them have very, very elementary definitions of feminism. A lot of them seem to advocate for choice feminism or trickle-down feminism. They want every choice they as individuals…

I would argue what we need is logic & empathy. Logic to realize that when you improve conditions for the most marginalized you inevitably improve results for the whole and empathy to remember that we need no better reason than that they are a fellow human.

Well if you follow back to the original comment I replied to it was mostly a response to someone attempting to label others as they saw fit that I disagreed with.

I'm here because while I refuse to label myself that doesn't mean I can't read and comment on an article I find interesting, or in a discussion I find…

I have to yield on your second piece, it was redundant of me to include the secular.

I would disagree about it being a different sphere. One of the cornerstones of humanism is humanitarianism and human rights. These encompass everything that feminism hopes to be.

Are there differences? Sure, but there is also a large…

For the purposes of internet discussion a broad category is more efficient, if I started to get into particulars of what I believe you would lose interest before we could even scratch the surface.

And of course you must consider that feminism is itself a VERY broad term that encompasses many various ideas and beliefs,…

Mostly I just get annoyed when people proclaim a label for me. If I am to be labelled the person doing it should be ME, not anybody else.

Do I approve of more egalitarianism? Absolutely. Should we apply human rights as uniformly as possible to men/women/LGBT/people of all races? Clearly yes.

However in all this I still…

Feminist men get my blood flowing, so I say good on your husband. I don't know why people in this thread seem to have a problem with finding social awareness sexy.

You must be a real blast at parties.

I'm cool with sex and feminism not being mutually exclusive. I'm also cool with my husband's (joking, absurd) "list" of women he would hope to end up with if I left him/died tragically being populated by women he deems both hot and intellectually awesome. Always glad to provide the irony too.

Right - there's nothing attractive and awesome about smart, confident, progressive women. And certainly nothing to admire.

Oh, it's been a loaded word since it's inception.

Really good answer. Anna has well earned her place on my husband's "list."

I that hear if you chant "feminism" in a bathroom mirror five times the ghost of Andrea Dworkin will appear and destroy your entire pornography collection.
