Feminist or not?!.if yes why and is it bad?!.?

So my friends and some family keep calling me feminist.my mom said I was just a strong woman that knows I can support myself.well I don't think I am because I don't think it's offensive for a guy to hold the door open but at the same time I do get VERY offended when someone says to do it because I'm a girl or if I'm told it's a mans job..somehow like that.so please help?!.

    I don't think people should label you. Be who you were meant to be. I am the same way, I am just myself. I joined the Air Force because a man told me I was too stupid and I would never get in, so I joined it to prove him wrong, or maybe right. Just be yourself, you should not have to apologize for who you are. ….”Be who you are and say what you feel ‘cause people who mind don’t matter, and people who matter don’t mind.” Dr. Seuss.

    Rebecca West had the best handle on this:

    "I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat."
