I thought all the young girls these days say "I am not a feminist." Feminists are automatically rejected as ugly, man-hating and probably lesbians. A modified version of that was true on my college campus in the 90s. They were all feminists when asked about any specific canon of feminism but disliked the stereotype. A reasonable subset saw through the problem. Moreover, "lesbians" is less and less of a negative category. My friends tell me that this remains the case: most college age women, at least on campuses with which I'm familiar, remain convinced of the precepts of feminism. Their view of "feminism" varies depending on which sort of stereotype is the prevalent one.
