But there's a problem with what you're saying: What is feminism?
Does feminist = woman?
Feminist organizations say that feminism is a political ideology,
bound to the concept of "The personal is political," meaning that
feminist women should use their sexuality to gain political advantage.
Of course, anyone can say feminism is anything they want, but I
actually disagree with your concept of "multiple manifestations of
feminism." In my view, if you say you're Canadian, then you have to
be a Canadian citizen, and if you say you're Catholic, then you have
to be a member of the Catholic church, and if you say you're a
feminist, then you're bound to the political ideology of using
sexuality to gain political advantage.
