In truth, I don't care about making feminism more accessible to anyone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.
I used to think feminism was a liberating force - now I see many of those people are just censors under a different name.
Feminism is a good venue for getting yourself across as much as for getting your point across.
The fact is, feminism is not what it used to be.
I would love for everyone to be a feminist, but I have to respect people's choices. If you don't want to be a feminist and don't want to claim feminism, that's entirely your right.
There's a side of me that dislikes feminism. I think we surrendered something and women were unable to reveal any kind of vulnerability.
Feminism remains something that needs to be explained to people.
I don't like the women who stand up for the empowerment of women at the expense of men. They try to demonize men, and they try to suggest men all want to keep us down, which is one of the reasons why I don't like that label 'feminist.'
Some of the biggest advocates for feminism seem to believe that in order to feel powerful you have to make another woman subservient, and that is not what feminism is about at all.
I am much more open about categories of gender, and my feminism has been about women's safety from violence, increased literacy, decreased poverty and more equality.
