Of course they will "consider themselves feminists." They have been educated since birth to believe that feminism simply means "equal rights," "equal pay," "freedom of choice" etc. Those are values that all enlightened women and men believe in, including

However, when I "rail about feminists" (and I do), I'm railing against
contemporary feminism and not the feminism of my younger days. The feminism of today is sometimes characterized as "third wave" (and now "fourth wave"
). It is an extreme variation of feminism that has led to various, interrelated moral panics such as those surrounding the "campus rape epidemic," the excesses of the#MeToo movement, and the equating of prostitution with sex trafficking.
Most young women are simply unaware of how feminism has evolved into an extreme ideology that is much different from its original beliefs and practices. It's not surprising that most young women these days, including those who do sex work, will call themselves feminists. They just don't know or don't
want to know what that word really means these days.
