"I always wonder about people who refuse the label 'Feminist' on the basis that they don't like labels. Do they also refuse to label themself a Republican, a liberal, an American, a woman, a wife, a doctor? I mean, why should those labels matter any more 'feminist'?
"Maybe some person out there does eschew all labels but unfortunately, most people I know who shy away from the 'feminist' moniker on the basis of hating labels, only apply it to that particular label."
