I’ll buy my daughter a dolly, but she’ll get a set of matchbox cars and a fire engine too.
I like men, but that doesn’t mean I want to sleep with all of them.
I might carry a purse, but I’m not afraid to hit you with it.
I have class. I’ll flip you off with my nicely manicured finger.
I like to wear skirts, but I look hotter in pants.
I have style. I’ll give you hell in my Manolos and Seven jeans.
Just because I listen to your shit, doesn’t mean I’m going to take it.
I wear a bra, but that doesn’t mean I’m not willing to burn it.
I have grace. I’ll kick your ass with a pointed toe.
I might be married, but I’m nobody’s bitch.
I shave my pits and legs. And I’ll shave my head too if it means equality for women.
I’m a feminista. What about you?

I'm in da club and I'm raising a feminista, too. He just got his first doll yesterday.

I'm creating a list. For what, I don't know. But it's a list and it rocks.

Me too.

Love it. Am feminista, *and* mominista. I have superpowers: my boobs can feed babies and bring men to their knees. I can discuss the finer points of Plato and the merits of pablum. I wipe the shit, but don't take no shit. And I can do it all in heels, although I EXERCISE CHOICE and choose not to wear heels just right now because flats are more comfortable.
So there.

Hi, I'm Liz from below. Just so you know.

Righteous thoughts.
I may enjoy a pink cocktail but I can drink you under the table.

I like to eat burgers and drink beer. Screw the salad. :)
I'm a burgerista I guess?

Have always loved that t-shirt, ever since I saw it at my fifth or so pro-choice march on Washington with my entire family.
Give em hell, feminista!
Posted by: Liz | April 05, 2006 at 08:44 PM
Great Post. I don't know why people thing "Feminism" is a bad word.
Posted by: Kristina | April 05, 2006 at 07:35 PM
I can open the door for myself, but I appreciate when you do it.
I am so a feminista...
Posted by: Dawn | April 05, 2006 at 06:52 PM
I like the idea, but I have to confess...I don't even know what Sevens are. And I only recognize the name Manolo from the few episodes of Sex and the City that I caught. I'm feeling very TJ Maxx right now ;)
I think a line about being pro-choice would be a great addition. I'm not coming up with anything off the top of my head, but maybe someone else will be inspired.

I have just ruled this post mandatory reading for my chicky. Thanks! And here's to all the growing feminista's in the world.

I wear a bra, but that's only because I nursed 2 babies and my no-bra body no longer fills out my favorite sweater. but gimme one good reason and i'd burn it too!
GO GIRL! i love that list!
Posted by: tracey | April 05, 2006 at 04:17 PM
That's a priceless list!!! My brain is a little fried today...post magarita blues...I just can't seem to think of something witty to add....:(
Posted by: Pattie (Domesticator) | April 05, 2006 at 03:34 PM
I'm getting a kick out of these comments!
Your daughter is going to be a force to reckon with someday -- if she isn't already. heehee. She'll be just as sassy and spirited as her mommy!
Posted by: Lisa B | April 05, 2006 at 03:25 PM
My daughter cries when she gets dirty and skinsher knee.....then she gets up and does the same thing to the little boy who pushed her in the first place!
ROAR! (Can you hear all of super-women roaring!!!)
Posted by: Jaime | April 05, 2006 at 03:12 PM
Excellent post...I always wanted to get my husband a t-shirt that said 'feminist chicks dig me' and then get a onesie for my daughter that said 'feminist chick'.
Posted by: Arwen | April 05, 2006 at 02:19 PM
Yeah that's cute, but I'm pretty sure I'm not a feminista.
Posted by: The Aitch | April 05, 2006 at 01:58 PM
My daughter loves Belle and Sleeping Beauty, but Darth Vader too. She plays basketball in a skirt and digs for bugs in the backyard. Great post!
Posted by: J's Mommy | April 05, 2006 at 01:46 PM
Ahem...well, you know how I feel about it, BUT...at least it doesn't say "feminazi"
...right? ;?)
I liked your post. Especially the part about listening to shit, but not putting up with it.
Posted by: Blog Antagonist | April 05, 2006 at 01:15 PM
I am definitely part of that club!

Those are great!
Posted by: Lisa | April 05, 2006 at 11:31 AM
Cool. :)
Posted by: Lucinda | April 05, 2006 at 11:20 AM
I actually had one of those shirts but on a baby onesie. So cute. it for my son Aidan when he was little.
Posted by: krista | April 05, 2006 at 11:11 AM
That's awesome! If you're selling that shirt I'd love to buy one.
Oh, and my addition -
I vacuum the floor, but I also mow the lawn...
I might wear a skirt, but that doesn't mean I don't wear the pants around here....
Posted by: Undercover Angel | April 05, 2006 at 10:58 AM
Well, that could mean metaphorically shitting in the woods as well as literally.
;-)
Posted by: jozet | April 05, 2006 at 10:51 AM
YAY! Great post, lady. Though I *am* too squeamish to shit in the woods (yipes! I don't camp with bugs!)
Posted by: Chase | April 05, 2006 at 10:27 AM
Rock on! Love that! And I have actually shaved my head once in my lifetime (I recommend being no older than 19 for that trick!) it was liberating and weird all at the same time!
Posted by: chelle | April 05, 2006 at 09:27 AM
Oh girl. I love it. Is that a shirt your selling? Cool! Love the whole list and the others above me. Women Rock!
Posted by: Shannon (Sentimental) | April 05, 2006 at 08:58 AM
I pee sitting down, but that doesn't mean I'm too squeamish to shit in the woods.
I can say "please" and "thank you" and smile real pretty; I also know how to say "bug off, jerk" in ten different languages.
My daughters climb trees wearing dresses and gripping their Barbies.
My daughters like math and can name most of the insects around our house.
I do the laundry; I also install all the lighting fixtures and fix the broken garage door.
I wear pink silk stockings under my hiking boots.
No matter what our differences in religion, race, sexuality, parenting style, hair product usage, etc., etc., ultimately, I'm always on the side of my girl friends; right now, that's more important than my own ego or insecurities.
Posted by: jozet | April 05, 2006 at 08:56 AM
I might smile and let you finish your thought when you say word like mailman, fisherman, fireman or policeman- but when its my turn to talk I'll pointedly reflect back inclusive language- postal worker, fisher, fire fighter, and police officer.
