Like you, my mother was also strongly feminist. She had a very strong personality, and I grew up being a "feminist".
It wasn't until I got older and started seeing the movement as a whole that I started distancing myself from it.
Because I agree that wrongs need to be righted, and that women have every right to equality as men.
I just don't agree that means I should be ashamed of my gender, or that I'm automatically an asshole.
