Feminista, Fashionista, Crafty Diva - Can they all co-exist?

{Hi it is Jodie again.} As you may have guessed from my all female blog line up I get along best with women. I don't really know why, I have some theories as to why I don't get on as well with men but I don't think it's a massive loss that my best friends are all made up of women. I like my gender and I want to be involved in its community. I'm also very excited about feminist theory, especially history (as it was my degree subject) and literary criticism. I think every section of the female community should be able to respect the opinions expressed by different groups but many people think that this isn't possible. Not only do they think it isn't possible they positively delight in creating ructions among the gals. If they're not pushing some celebrity rivallry on the poor wippets then they're explaining why it's unattractive to be a feminist, influencing girls who haven't yet formed a coherent opinion to mock and revile their sisters. So what do you think, is there room in the world for feminists and fashionistas, craft girls and catwalk worshippers? Do we even need to seperate them into these categories? Couldn't a feminist be fashionable, a straight girl be strong and business like? And do we need to seperate feminism into nationality or race with women in countries where equal rights aren't available left to liberate themselves or should western women be helping? I'd like to hear what women and men are thinking about feminism in general whether it be history, art, politics or fashion. If anyone wants to rant about how women are marketed and sold products in an inferior way you'll find me jumping on the band wagon waving a big banner with the name of a razor company in pink. Feel free to disagree though, we'd all grow bored without debate.
