FEMINISM IS HUMANISM

FEMINISM has become something of a DIRTY WORD in certain circles. lately, a lot of high-profile women, like: Shallene Woodley or Marion Cotillard have gone on records saying they are NOT FEMINIST. There’s even a group called “Women Against Feminism.” But what are these women really saying when they declare they aren’t feminists? What they think they’re saying is: “I DON’T HATE MEN”, “I LOVE MEN”, “I DON’T THINK WOMEN ARE BETTER THAN MEN”, I’m not that kind of woman, You know, the crazy, bra-burning, feminazi kind". “I’M A COOL WOMEN”, “I don’t want to put WOMEN OVER MEN”. For anyone who needs a refresher this is what feminism means at its core. Feminist: A person who believe in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. Hating men and being a feminist are actually not connected at all. Not even a little bit. Feminism IS about equality of the sexes, But right now, one sex has a lot more power than the other. MEN ARE NOT SYSTEMATICALLY OPPRESSED BASED ON THEIR GENDER, and that’s a fact. WOMEN ARE, and that’s a fact, too. So if you believe any of the following:

👉 REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

👉​ EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK

👉 SEEING DIVERSE BODIES, ETHNICITIES, AND GENDER EXPRESSIONS ONSCREEN AND IN MAGAZINES

👉 PROVIDING EDUCATION FOR 62 MILLION GIRLS WHO DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO IT

👉 ENDING SEXUAL VIOLENCE

👉 HAVING WOMEN IN GOVERNMENT, HAVING WOMEN CEO’S

you know

BASIC GENDER EQUALITY.

SURPRISE!

You’re probably a feminist. Feel free to identify or not identify any way you want, but if you say you’re not a feminist, at least understand what the term actually means. And remember FEMINISM IS HUMANISM.
