In the news and across social media channels, it’s easy to see that currently there is adistinct backlash against feminism, not to mention an often-profound misunderstanding. Feminism has become the new “F” word, and it’s up to any person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes to reclaim it.
What Does a Feminist NOT Mean?
- That you hate men
- That you are a victim or don’t own up to your own mistakes
- That you must chose between your heart and your brain
- That you are entitled to special privileges
- That you don’t think men have issues too
Being a feminist means that you have choices, and believe in women’s equality. It also means that you have the freedom to define yourself.
