So I had a bit of an incident at work today, and I've been thinking about it ever since I got home. I may be opening a can of worms but whatever.
What basically happened was that I was sitting inside the break room minding my own business and this woman I work with was talking with some other co workers about something about women's right's and some study about something (wasn't really paying attention). Anyway all of a sudden she turns to me and asks "Are you a feminist?" I answered honestly "nope I am not".
She then looked shocked like I had just denied the holocaust and said something along the lines of, "either you are a feminist or you are a chauvinist". I just sort of said sorry and I meant no offense and returned to not paying attention.
Now, I have never thought of women or anyone really as inferior to me, but am I still a chauvinist even though I don't consider myself a feminist?
