Isn't it sexist in and of itelf to have a female character just for the sake of having one?

Anyways, these sexism claims are really starting to annoy me. Feminist are going rampant.

Are you not a feminist? 

why should he/she/anyone be that?

we have labels such as egualitarian or humanist that perfectly define someone that believes people should be treated equally, regardless of their gender, race, belief, economical status, etc

believing in equal rights for all humans doesn't require the 'feminist' label

To be a feminist is a subset of those things you just mentioned. The term exist and is relevant when topic of discussion is specifically gender. 

Furthermore someone can believe in the equality of men and women but then hold descrimitive believes pertaining to some religions or of people from a certain background. There is valid reasons for subsets like feminism, no need to try and toxify the term.

the term is toxic, and it's toxified exactly by the most vocal of the people who declare themselves feminist. feminism was a term that made sense in a world where one group of people were actually discriminated (voting rights, admission to higher education, etc)

in this day and age there is no one sided bias in favor of men/deteriment of women (speaking of western world obviously). this does not mean that there is no more discrimination against women by certain individuals in society, but for each of those examples you can find plenty of situations where the discrimination is going exactly against men.

furthermore, the shift in society and pushback in favor of women's rights was so strong that I could argue there's an increased favoritism towards the females in several aspects (lower retirement age for women despite longer life expectancy, parental custody rights, rate of incarceration, lower sentences for the same type of crimes, persumed innocence in domestic disputes vs the male counterpart, etc)

finally, from a perception standpoint you can't appear to defend gender equality when you decide to use the word FEMINism. the word itself has in its conception a clear bias towards the female gender (which again made total sense a few dozen years ago) but no one would accept MALEism as a word to convey equality in gender treatment.

 

anyways, sorry for the longer rant, but in a nutshell, better call yourself gender equalitarian if you really want to make your point across. i'll be right there with you
