"I'm not a feminist. I hail men, I love men." So said Lady GaGa recently. I wasn't too into her before I read this quote. She strikes me as an obnoxious club kid pandering to the gay community as an easy way to build an instant support base. And reading this quote seems like a contrived way to stir up controversy, while at the same time revealing the mind of an ignorant youngster who doesn't really know what she's talking about. I realize my gender may preclude my having a relevant opinion on this subject, but is it not possible to be a feminist AND love men? In other words, to love women as well as men.
Of course it is.
Here's an interesting discussion on the topic from Bitch Magazine.
