I can't decide how much of a feminist I am. There are some things that really get on my nerves - like when boys make derogatory comments about women and their roles in society or life. "Why are women's feet smaller than men's? So they can stand closer to the kitchen sink." Or the one I recently heard in institute: "Well, you better get married soon and start having babies, because you are useless after you're 40 years old".
But then there is the other side of me that detests other things. For instance, I can't stand female sports announcers, I would way rather have a male political leader than a female, and don't really like the idea of women in the military.
I like playing sports - and hate it when boys exclude girls from playing, or won't pass the ball to them, yet the WNBA drives me crazy.

It's okay, banana. I am a walking contradiction, too! However, what I REALLY want to know is--WHO punched the guy who made that really stupid comment in institute? I think that line should be branded on his head forever as a warning to women who are thinking of dating him!!
oh, it was the married institute instructor.
