Only have a moment, but I personally prefer hearing men who support the aims of feminism IDing as "pro-feminist" rather than feminist. It just always site better with me, for a whole lot of reasons.

If it's helpful to figure out why, imagine me, a white woman, who loved what Angela Davis did in the seventies, and telling people that I was a Black Panther -- that'd be pretty darn colonizing of me. I could support those aims, for sure, and state my support of them, but putting myself amoung their number in terms of how I identified myself would be iffy, at best.

(FYI, Lark, so you don't misunderstand, I noticed you left a few posts in the women-only area of the boards, so I'll need to go remove those now -- obviously, you're welcome to ahre your thoughts on those issues in the area of the boards here, where everyone can participate, but next time 'round, just keep an eye as to what area you're on, okay? Thanks.:))
