    Here in the UK the Fawcett Society which is our 'leading charity campaigning for gender equality and women's rights' conducted a survey which was pretty telling; because they asked the right questions.

    Equality between the sexes is pretty much a given:

    A significant majority (83%) of the British public support equality of opportunity for women – this included even higher support from men (86%) than women (81%).

    Pretty funny that men topped women in this category.

    But probably the most salient point is that those who identify as feminist is tiny in comparison -- only 7% of men and women surveyed. *

    Why might there be such a massive difference in those who believe in equality between the sexes and those who identify as feminist? Would this indicate that the two positions in the minds of most are not synonymous?

    * Survation interviewed 8,165 adults aged 18+ between 30th November – 3rd December 2015.
