Yeah, I'm Southern so saying I'm a feminist doesn't confer any special advantage to me. I didn't buy the t-shirt or anything, but in certain circumstances I'll pipe up that I'm a feminist, if for no other reason than to confound the ridiculous stereotypes about feminism that are so common in the South.
