I too was struck by the caption "How Feminists Choose a Text" or whatever it was, and I think reminding everyone that we are not necessarily all feminists is a valid one to make. 

But I'll agree with lperry (is that Laura?), though, that it is neither fair to Anne, nor to anyone else in the class, to demand a definition of feminism.  I disagree with you (skumar) when you say we haven't discussed what feminism is.  I came into the class having absolutely no solid concept of "feminism" and now I feel like I can describe to you, specifically, my take on on the term, after much reading of others' interpretations.

It would be well to call on Sosnoski, here, to remind that this should not be a competition or game of finding the best definition of "feminism."  I think that Anne has done just the opposite: presented MANY lenses that we might look through in order that we feel compassionate, and, as a result, more knowledgable, about feminism and our own interpretations.
