Why aren't you a feminist?

So true! Yeah, there are feminists who mat be too radical for some if us, but when you compare that statement to the history of MAN, and i literally mean MAN, feminists come out smelling like lilacs. ( i'm not fond of the smell of roses, but i do love lilacs.) 

Why have so many people refused to take on the label? It's like the word "liberal" and the word "union", or the words "community organizer". We have let the opposition define the word and they have put every negative connotation on those words and society has bought those connotations? How come?
