why can't all decent men and women call themselves feminist?

ani d. made this quotable quote availabe to public a long time ago. she must've known something!

now, two very nice scientists have found out that feminists have healthier relationships.
"Contrary to popular opinion, feminism and romance are not incompatible and feminism may actually improve the quality of heterosexual relationships, according to Laurie Rudman and Julie Phelan, from Rutgers University in the US. Their study* also shows that unflattering feminist stereotypes, that tend to stigmatize feminists as unattractive and sexually unappealing, are unsupported." Read the full article here.

I knew it would pay at some time to put up with all these wannabe feminists at school and university. I knew my last relationship wasn't ended because of me. Is all that former assumption, now knowledge an excuse to stop shaving my legs? or will that not help my relationship, feminist or not? Am I not included in the study because I'm gay? Well, the whole study is definitely something I can use when I start citing all these feminst thoughts and have my gf bored to death.
