Thanks for all comments so far.
One major stumbling block is the definition of feminism. For many, certainly on the American side (I’m British), a feminist is an ugly man-hater with no sense of humour. To me, a feminist – who may be a man – is someone who thinks men and women are equal.
For more on the F-word, readers are encouraged to check out my post here. As you will see, this is something of a grey area.
Women often say, “I’m not a feminist, but…” I say that I am a feminist, but when it comes to Islam, I feel that many feminists have failed.
