At least this man thinks so ; and I consider myself feminist by the same logic.
I count myself as feminist because I believe women are just as capable, valuable and worthy of respect as men. I believe that much of what feminists want is opportunity - in education, athletics and at work and a whole host of other arenas. It's not about putting one sex ahead of the other or ticking off a list of things you think men 'do better' than women or doing the same with things women 'do better' than men. It's all about equality of opportunity to pursue what drives you as an individual and not get shortchanged because of someone else's perception of you aspiration or throwing needless barriers in your way ; even and especially if they think they are doing you some kind of favor.
But in understanding that as I do , I know there are women out there who have that unfair bias against other women. I've heard it in person from women who wouldn't vote Hillary. Those same women didn't discuss the issues but let their husbands speak for them as a couple. It really is quite sad to witness in real time but it shows where that bullshit is rooted. At least in the two cases I saw it the women seemed to prefer not to have responsibility for politics and so they think it's normal. The problem is intensified when people take individuals like that as proof that it's in any way valid. Because 'some women' think like that too.
