I assume this is the new millennium version of tinker, tailor, soldier, spy :)
I have always rather shrunk from the label of feminism. Which apparently makes me anti-feminist before I've even started. I try to treat people equally, try to notice if I'm being prejudiced, try to fix it if I am, try to raise it if I think I see prejudice elsewhere... but I call that being a normal person.
I can't say if I agree with the basic tenets of feminism, because I've never quite managed to work out exactly what they are, because different people who self-identify as feminists have differing views. I've always been a bit uncomfortable with the pro-female discrimination which seems to come along with a lot of people's feminism (though not all, of course). As soon as you call yourself a feminist, you acquire everyone's (potentially conflicting) thoughts and prejudices about what that means.
Mind you, despite going to church I rarely call myself a Christian for broadly similar reasons ;)
