RE: Being a feminist and what that means to me
I find that, worldwide, there is an audience determined to ensure it has a negative connotation. Which is a real shame.
They are happy to stand up and tell you that you are wrong. The wrong kind of feminist. That you should be happy with your lot considering that there are women worse off in the world that you elsewhere. They do everything to belittle and defuse conversation.
It's a real shame. Incredibly partisan as heels are dug in to "fight the other side" no matter what the topic.
Yes, it is a real shame. I have met 'feminists' that will not say they are feminists because they think it means they have to be man haters! I guess that is what happens once a stigma is attached to a word, the true meaning is forgotten.
