[...] The obsession with whether or not women identify as feminists assumes that this is a reasonable measure of how many people believe in the general aims and objectives of the ideology. But it is a preoccupation that relies on identity labels more than any analysis of shared values. And any identity can and will be co-opted for political gain: hence we see Nick Clegg [...] posing in a "This is what a feminist looks like" t-shirt [...] Meanwhile, David Cameron was chastised for refusing to wear one, as if a t-shirt sent from Whistles could absolve him of all his policy sins. [...]

I think there are other factors to consider here (like, why did he refuse to wear one? obviously it won't absolve him of anything but the refusal may indicate more worrying truths ... which I think we already suspect anyway) but she makes a good point
