An early morning present for you all.

One question that was posed to Starhawk was, "What is the role of feminist spirituality in today's world? And what do we do with people who don't claim the feminist label?"

She used a phrase that I think I've heard before, but not in this context and I think it was brilliant.

Intuitive Feminist

These are women whose brains function like a feminist, they expect to live in a feminist world, but won't claim the label.

She cautions us to go easy on them because they were raised in a time of entitlement. My generation & those that follow expect certain things. We all know the argument.

I googled the phrase and came up with a zillion different ways intuitive feminist has been used. Other than its use in a conversation with SanFran indie film artists, I think that Starhawk's use really is dead on. I think it helps me understand women who don't claim the label of feminist. If I missed a whole body of feminist theory, please leave me links!
