Regular ones are ok I guess.  Shoot, to be honest, I don't even know anyone that identifies herself as one. The big stink now is what political party you are.

Many women are reluctant to identify themselves as feminists because of the negative connotation like you described above.
I think that feminism is about equal opportunities and access to education, jobs, health care, housing, and comparable pay for comparable work; it's not about shaving your legs.
It is also not about lying about rape. Lies just make it more difficult for women who have been violated to be taken seriously.
