yup I can add to my list- no one who does not honestly believe that men and women are equal - in terms of rights [but I will leave the sports arguments alone]
Selenite: Feminism is perceived very differently by different men and even women. So first we would have to have a conversation where we share what we think "feminism" means ... We might agree on the "principles" but not what we call it. In which case there is no cut off point
You seem fairly reasonable and willing to understand a man...before you decide Are you saying...a man does not have to be a male feminist to date you

I'm saying I don't care what he calls it as long as he sees women as having equal human rights as men in society, work place and home... Gender roles within our couple need not have a name either as long as we harmonise and fit like puzzle pieces acknowledging each others strengths and weaknesses according to who we are rather than "some external expectations" ...

Men and women are treated equally in terms of rights...but would also say...women are treated much better by the legal system and far more money is spent on women's causes...than mens...
If you really want eqaulity...it has to be 50/50 in every single thing...including the family courts...decisions on child birth...abolishing diversity quotas...that vastly favour women over men and a number of other things

It's obvious to anyone...women have equal rights to men and I'm wondering if you want a man to repeat it like a parrot cause you feel some kind of superiority...over him when he says it Are you into the identity politics

How you assumed this from what I wrote is a mystery ...
LeeCharming: Do you think...gender is a social construct and not biological? If so would you date a transgender person?
I have no idea. I don't know enough about biology to answer your first question.
On the second question I have no idea unless I get presented with the situation ...
I know women don't attract me because I was "presented" with the option a couple of times and the answer was in no uncertain terms a resounding "nope" thank you very much but no!

I understand what you mean and in the past...I was presented with the option...but had to make it clear...I was only interested in women..we were on the same course at college...I thought of him as a friend...went to the pub often with him after college and had a laugh...I thought he fancied women as I do...but he was not honest with me and then one day at the pub...he told me about his feelings for me...admitted he was gay...I was not happy about his deception and turned down his advances...but was still friends with him...for a little while after...I knew his priority was finding a boyfriend and mine was finding a girlfriend...so the friendship was never going to last.
The lesson for people to learn is...friendship...can't be built on lies and deception...
