But remember, the first feminists were Christian women, trying to get the vote for women. And isn't it Christianity that really gives women equal rights, rather than that Christianity hates women? Jesus was very egalitarian.

This is how I would describe my thoughts on the matter.
While I am certainly for equal rights for women, etc. I am in no way a feminist, liberal, social, radical, or otherwise. I may agree with a few things they support, but that doesn't mean I in any way identofy with them.
Hillary Clinton and I both agree that you ought not steal chickens, but that doesn't make me a liberal democrat.
