Leah -- Thank you for this touching post. I just want to say, hang in there! There ARE feminist men out there, even if they might not be in great abundance (hopefully in greater abundance than the 'creeps', we hope...). But they ARE there. Even if they don't know that they are feminist yet.
When my husband and I met and married, neither one of us was a feminist, but we developed it together, and now we raise our daughters -- and SON -- to be great feminists. They are out there, and you will find the man who loves and appreciates you for exactly who you are, no apologies necessary.
And then, when you are ready to have children, hopefully you will be able to help raise the next generation of feminist MEN as well!!
