This paper is a largely autobiographical account of my "role muddles", that is my confusions about my identity as a feminist academic. I first describe several examples of role muddles, and indicate their epistemological and moral dimensions. After exploring the possibility of just living with tensions about the concept of "feminist", I situate these tensions within the context of the current media focus on "political correctness" and its insidious effects on feminism. Finally, I offer some tentative suggestions for dealing with feminist role muddles.
