That was a much more measured reply than the one that I had been considering. :)
Roland, "feminist" is a very broad term that can mean everything from "man hater" to "prefers that women don't get beaten up on a regular basis", as well as everything in between. While you might have been using a more narrow definition of the term, that is not how a lot of people are going to interpret your comments (myself included).
While I have my own views that borrow heavily from many different camps, I do consider myself to be a feminist. I'd also prefer that people wouldn't want to hit me based upon this broad categorization of myself.
