Is the VeronicaMoonlit a feminist? Yes.

Yes, yes I am. I've identified as such for years. Lets see, I think it was before Anita Hill, somewhere between 1988 and 1990. I began identifying more strongly with feminism with the rise of Third Wave feminism. In fact, it was a series of articles and interviews in Glamour magazine about and by Naomi Wolf and Susan Faludi that did so.

I would describe myself as a pro-porn, pro-choice Third Wave feminist. Though the anti-abortion folks would have less to complain about if people were encouraged to use birth control...but some anti-abortion folks are against that too.

I'm a practical feminist, I don't go for that deconstruction and theorizing, it hurts my head. I like to keep it simple.

Funny thing is, I sometimes agree to a certain extent with the radfems and separatist feminists on the "Men are teh suckage in general" issue, but they think MTF transfolk are teh devil. Also, men suck because our society doesn't in general teach men how to NOT suck, and separating yourself from men means you aren't part of the solution.

So yes, I am a feminist.
