technically, a feminist is a person who cares about womans rights, so I am a feminist myself, and I'd hope you'd be as well.
what i think you are saying is "I do not consider myself one of those losers who seek out every possible instance of male superiority and have it reversed (e.g. motioning for "woman" to be changed to "womon" and for "women" to become "womyn") " am i correct in assuming you just want to make it clear that you are not petty like that? that still doesn't mean you are not a feminist.
anyway back to the main topic... marriage was born as a strategy in life to make neg. utility from a break up higher than positive utility.
now, however, marriage is almost purely a womans gain strategy. Women of the world, if you want to make some major bucks, marry a guy, have a kid with him and seek divorce.
as long as there is a kid involved, the woman has a solid 60's - 80's percentile probability of getting custody.. the courts just naturally want to see the mother with the kid... when that happens, 70% of assets go to the mother so she can raise the standard of living for the kid.
anyway, marriage has become a profitable industry for people (mostly women).. hopefully a few gay marriage dissolutions will help move us away from this "mother + kid allways" philosophy
