The word feminist has so many bad stigmas put to it. It's amazing that many people, especially women do not even know what it means to be a feminist. For instance, once my roomie and I were driving around town and I was talking about the shirts that say, "This is what a feminist looks like." This was before I voiced my opinions about Women's Studies, and the like. Anyways, she kind of laughed and then said, "I'll wear a shirt that says ,this is NOT what a feminist looks like." Oh, so your a woman, but do not want equal rights for your own gender? ....That def. makes sense.
Being a feminist doesn't mean that you have to burn your bras, or be sexually attracted to women. Being a feminist just means wanting equal rights for women. I never realized it until recently, but I've been a feminist my whole life! Any women who does not want rights is crazy. Women are not meant to always follow order; women can rebel, women can lead, and women can do whatever they want!!
