It's worth noting here that while I know relatively few young female  

students who self-identify as feminists, if you actually talk to them  

about their views of gender and society, every one of them in fact is  

a feminist.  The ways the term itself has been discursively warped by  

various conservatisms, such that feminists often reject the  

designation, is another topic.
