It's not that I don't believe in feminism. I think feminism achieved its goals, which were on the whole the right goals: rights for women. I appreciate the fact that society made those strides.
In that view, seeing someone today say "I'm a feminist" is like hearing someone say "I'm pro-electricity." And if you say "I think we have electricity pretty well established as a good thing today" they say "what, have you never dreamt of going off for a weekend and living in a log cabin? See, you've got internalized Amish!"
