I may be more of a feminist than some who call themselves feminists leaders.
I believe in equal rights for all women, no matter where they live or what their political views.
I don't believe in putting Leftist unity, Democrat election victories, socialism, or "peace" with terrorists over the rights of a woman.
I believe in a girl's right to life; that she should not be butchered in the womb for no other reason than being a girl, or any other reason other than to save her mother's life.
I believe in a girl's right for her parents to protect her, and her mother's right to object to a school taking her daughter for surgery without even informing her, or attempting to brainwash her daughter with Leftist nonsense.
I believe in a woman's right to work without being forced to join a union or pay for political activism with which she disagrees.
I believe in a woman's right to negotiate her compensation with any employer, without any government involvement forcing her to get the same pay as someone else.
I believe in a woman's right to choose mothering over career, or career instead of mothering, or a career that allows her to actively mother her own children, or a husband that will take care of the kids and home while she works.
I believe in a woman's right to manage the fruits of her own professional labor via lower taxes, including her freedom to accumulate and pay off her own debts; budget, save, and invest; pay for her own meals, drinks, entertainment, etc.
I believe in a woman's right to her own property.
I believe in a woman's right to choose whether or not she will have sex, and whether it will be with her loving, devoted, husband who can afford to raise a family or with some guy she just met in a bar who has no money - and I believe that she, being an adult, can handle the consequences without my help.
I believe in a girl's right to a mother and and a father.
I believe in a woman's right to pay support to her ex-husband if she earned more during the marriage, and child support if he has majority custody of their children - just like if the sexes were reversed.
I believe in a woman's right to be treated the same as a man would be treated in cases of domestic violence and other crimes, including statutory rape of underage boys.
I believe in a woman's right to self-defense, including gun ownership and use.
What about most "feminist leaders"?
