Feminism

Met a woman this evening (I know, disappointing but nevertheless) and we got to talk about feminism. Her version was to light a drunken man's cigar three times (because he was too drunk to remember to actually suck it). Then she turned to me to announce that she was a feminist. Really? As it turned out he was paying for her mineral water. If this is feminism I would shoot myself. Feminism to me is equal pay for equal job, for me to do a favour (like lightning a cigar) once, and then get the favour returned (not necessarily at the same time), to fend for yourself, not being dependent, to stand up for your beliefs etc etc. Ok, I know that the Swiss are kinda behind, but still. Puuuleeeze. There's gotta be some kind of dignity...
