To be "feminist" is to be equal - not special or superior to men. I support men's causes just as much as women's because we are equal. Ayu isn't making some profound feminist statement here. Perhaps she tried, but it was lost in the poor execution. I won't laud prise on something just because of a supposed feminist agenda - that doesn't do justice to actual feminist advances...

In the words of Morgan Freeman, who spoke on racism in modern society, "Stop talking about it. I`m going to stop calling you a white man. And I`m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man." - this principle also applies to feminism. When people stop trying to force female superiority by acting "tarty", "****ty", "tacky" etc and then crying about people being "blind prudes" or "anti-feminist" when the rest of the world views it as bad, then people can move on. Feminism won't be needed anymore because we'll be equal, which is what feminism was all about!

Bravo.
