People have their own versions of being feminist (just like there are versions of libertarians out there), and no denying that certain things are definitely basic to the idea of feminism, but not sure if opposition to capital punishment is one of them. I believe its more a personal idea borne out of a lot of factors in a person's upbringing. Now you may say we find more feminists opposing capital punishment than otherwise, and you may be right (someone out there might have done a study on this), but using the word "fundamentally" sounds like using the word "literally" in the wrong way. Like I said, just nitpicking. :Drationalsurdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824078269962485768noreply@blogger.com
