So is it ever OK to call a woman a cunt?

Even if they may be one I wouldn't call them one. I love words. Even if I didn't know the meaning, to me that word just sounds ugly.

When I am going through a doorway, I hold the door for whomever is coming up behind me. If a person has some visible frailty or is carrying something, and they are heading to the door ahead of me, I will try to get around and in front so that I can get the door for them. It doesn't matter their gender or age.
On the bus or train, I offer my seat to anyone who seems to have some frailty, a clearly pregnant lady, or young children. With the kids, I say "Would you like a seat for the little one?" and that give the guardian the option of taking the seat and having their charge sit on their lap, or allow the child the seat. Little kids can be tired too, and they usually run it out hard at the playground, so if they are tired, they really are happy to sit down. But mostly, on the subway, the kids are excited to be able to kneel on the seat with their face looking out the window watching the tunnel walls/oncoming trains. It makes you feel pretty good to give up that seat and see the kid so happy they get to have that special view.
I am definitely a feminist, and I just do not comprehend how the term ever came to have a derogatory connotation. When I sense someone is using the term in a negative way, I think less of them, regardless as to their gender.

A shot in the "spot" on a girl is the same as one in the nuts to a guy.

It shouldn't be, traditional feminism and gender equality are getting confused with third wave feminism, more an ideology than anything else.
Case in point.

Does answering with a "solid NO" mean a solid NO???...
Yeah I guess. A lot of men say that, but then they get "really mad".....
so just wondering.

That's what my buddy told me it stands for, and if you use it with that meaning in mind it's not SO bad, eh?
I guess that is supposed to be an attempt at humor, right?
So maybe you will get a laugh out of these ones!

Why do men want to marry virgins?
They can't stand criticism.
Husband: I don't know why you wear a bra, you've got nothing to put in it?
Wife: You wear briefs, don't you?

A. We better get some support before someone thinks we're nuts.
Why do women make better soldiers? Because they can bleed for a week and not die.

Doing these things just makes you a polite humanist. I'm single and I do these things all the time. Does that make me a Maleist? Maybe I should start chanting "Maleism, Maleism"...are you with me boys?
Being a "Feminist" these days goes way beyond just being a single considerate human woman!
Feminism is queer!

Well, first. Nothing wrong with queer. :-) Your first mistake. It doesn't scare, it's just a breath of old stale air.
Second, the point of feminism is equality. Being courteous, polite and considerate are results of both upbringing and personality. Your second mistake. Mixing apples and oranges.
The war on woman was a try to set back what's accomplished so far. It won't work. Modern people today, especially the young ones, see it as natural that one has a choice depending on who one is and want, not their gender. Actually, men have more difficulties in that department than women, as many of them consider traditionally female careers and habits as unworthy and they're scared of what others will say.
To each her own. Noone else has a right to decide what I do in my bedroom (consenting adults), if I want to have a career or not, what kind of personality traits I should have because I am a woman or a man. And that salary shan't be genderdependent.
We're not done yet. There's still plenty to do.

People are individuals and should be treated as such.

I was writing about the considerations as person, and not as a woman, and to clear things up, I do not consider "being considerate" to have anything to do with feminism.
When I wrote, "I am a feminist," that was intended as a separate point. I suppose I could have added in some sort of transitional phrasing, but didn't realize that it would not be understood as such.

Second, the point of feminism is equality. Did you register with the Selective Service, (DRAFT) when you turned 18?
Why do you think women should or shouldn't be excluded from doing so? Men are required to do it.
And let's set aside the fact that the draft hasn't been used in decades, for the sake of discussion.
