Oh, and we wanna see men being able to wear skirts and make-up and glamourous but crippling footwear when they want to, too. This is also an important goal of equality. ;-)

(I am being flippant, but actually I mean it. And not just because I happen to like men in such attire).

Elegantly put, and I would agree with all of that :)

Not just feminism - age, religien etc. I dont want to be turned down for a job for example because i'm too old despite just having finished uni.
The whole thing could do with changing

similarly, i feel no more strongly about discrimination on the basis of gender than i do about discrimination on the basis of sexuality, age, colour, or ability. therefore, i would not call myself a feminist.

i could have a rant about being left out of feminism because of my desire to have children and be a homemaker, or my lack of interest in crippling shoes, but, frankly, it's been said many times before.

Hm, see, I find that odd; to me, feminism is about being able to make choices, whether they involve footwear or families. Choosing to have children and wear comfortable shoes is just as much a feminist choice as choosing not to have kids, and to wear heels all the time.
