Feminism is a way of thinking and looking at the world, it is not necessarily a political affiliation and it is neither monolithic or unchanging.
I don't have intimate relationships with men. That is because I am gay rather than because I am a feminist. I work in sector that is traditionally overwhelmingly male. Feminism for me has been a coping mechanism. First, to establish myself and survive in a hostile workplace that actively discriminated, and continues to discriminate, against me solely on the grounds of my sex. Secondly, to find a way of cultivating healthy relationships and friendships with my mainly male colleagues.
It's working pretty well so far 🤷♀️
