<--------Not a feminist!

I am a woman...and therefore I am in a minority group of world classifications........of which I hate that there is such a thing....but that's where I am.

I don't agree with many 'feminist" ideas and ideals......but I do agree with some.......

Equal pay for equal work.....and the chance to prove that I am equal in qualification to a man! I work in a job that would mostly pertain to a man (in some eyes) and I know for a fact that the person (a man) before me got a higher pay rate than I do now......and I pleaded my case and was offered more responsibility for more pay and I turned it down and told them why. Because it benefited them to have me do the tasks offered, more than it would benefit me with the pay raise and the stress of more responsibility! I'm sick and tired of trying to make this point in a male lead society! The guy before me in my job didn't have the added responsibility to get the rate he got.....why do I have to?

Also.........I agree with bra burning, cigarrette lighting and men holding doors and chairs for me...........but that's as far as my feminisim goes!
