I keep trying to imagine a universe in which too many public figures declaring themselves feminists would be a bad thing.

I am failing as a woman. I am failing as a feminist. To freely accept the feminist label would not be fair to good feminists. If I am, indeed, a feminist, I am a rather bad one. I am a mess of contradictions.

We have to believe that we can hold different points of view without labeling each other bad feminists.

It's an amusing idea to some, this feminism thing - this audacious notion that women should be able to move through the world as freely, and enjoy the same inalienable rights and bodily autonomy, as men. At least, that's the impression given when feminism and feminists are all too often the targets of lazy humor.

Even were sleep is concerned, too much is a bad thing.

Career diversification ain't a bad thing.
