Minor point, but didn't Tracey Emin say in the Guardian that 'I don't think about feminism' is what she said when she was asked about it in a college interview and that things have changed since then?
edit: yes.
"Yes, I am a feminist. I haven't always been; when I had my interview for Maidstone Art College they asked, "What do you think of feminism?" I said, "I don't think about it." I have a strong voice and I'm quite feisty but there are a lot of women who aren't and they need to have laws [protecting them] and rights too."
A quick re-read says you're right, but why bother? The point was that different people have different interpretations of feminism, and take it to varying extremes. Some people are more sensitive to sexism, while some will speak out at times when others won't.
Some people mocked Ken Livingstone when he wore that t-shirt, but I think it was a brave statement on behalf of more enlightened men...
