I have found the best women in bed are those with confidence, and there is probably a correlation between confidence and feeling liberated. But of course many also have a penchant for the submissive. I guess whatever rocks your boat.

It seems like "self-identifying feminists" could indicate a range of attitudes and opinions far too wide to classify into one group.

I understand your point Nate, but as a "self-identifying feminist" myself, I must say that we are actually a rare breed. While women are climbing the corporate ladder and you know, running for president and stuff, it certainly doesn't mean that the majority of women identify as being feminists. Actually, it is quite the opposite. In 2001, a Gallup poll found that only 25 percent of women identified themselves as feminists*, regardless of all the leaps and bounds we have made. A large part of this seems to have to do with society's opinion of the word "feminist" (which the ScienceDaily article touches upon). Women, and young women especially, are hesitant to put themselves in the same category as "man-hater" and "armpit hair grower" because it is culturally (at least mainstream-wise) unattractive.

However, the basis of this article is that a woman who calls herself a feminist is an indicator that she is perhaps a bit more open minded and comfortable asking for what she wants and/or needs, which will only lead to better communication in any relationship (sexual or otherwise).
