"I'll just put off being a feminist... until it doesn't matter anymore?"

See blog for the whole deal.

Exciting link, thanks for posting.

It seemed like a good subject for the lounge. :)

Sigh.

I hope this night finds you well and content, m'dear, but it sounds like that's not the case.

Unless, he matures he'll never really be a feminist anyway.

He looks like a done deal to me. It's sad that he'll probably find like six or seven women to knock up and abandon, or worse yet, marry, then be the kind of abusive sperm donor who pretends to be asleep while his babies are crying.

I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to soft-pedal it. Or is it now mandatory that people must at all times and at all places express their views?

when you're young? That isn't really a great inducement for young people to be feminist.

I guess if the idea of a "player" includes lying to women and treating them like shit, you could interpret this guy as a misogynist. If he just doesn't want to try to be monogamous until he's actually ready, he's better than the average person who commits and then cheats.

Somehow the kid has gotten the idea that feminism means being with only one woman at a time, which he doesn't want to do. I don't think this characterizes feminism. Plenty of feminist thought has questioned the paradigm of monogamy. So if anything he needs an education about what feminism actually means. He sounds like he thinks it means being a wimp and catering to his partner's every whim, and of course that isn't alluring to any healthy woman feminist or not.
