Article here. Excerpt:

'Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting fell into the "I'm not a feminist" trap and had to apologize to extricate herself.

A win for feminism or a win for anti-feminism? Maybe more like a win for tweet-shaming.

Cuoco-Sweeting, star of The Big Bang Theory, stepped into a wasps' nest when she made a mild comment about whether she considers herself a feminist in an interview withRedbook.

"Is it bad if I say no? It's not really something I think about," she mused. "Things are different now, and I know a lot of the work that paved the way for women happened before I was around. ... I was never that feminist girl demanding equality, but maybe that's because I've never really faced inequality."'

Attention world: I'm not a feminist. Now go ahead, tweet-shame me and the entire MANN site for it. See if I give a crap! :)

Being told she has no right to have an independent mind. She must believe as the Sisterhood tells her or she might be excommunicated from the Sisterhood.

Free and independent women. Doing exactly as they're told.
