Common misinterpretations of what a feminist is:
1) A man hater
Feminists
don’
t inherently hate men, feminists choose to focus on encouraging other women to show strength and resilience and discouraging
people to value one sex of another.
2) A woman deprived of sex
Feminists aren’
t pushing women’s rights because they were turned down by a man, they push women’s rights because they want to be treated as equals to men.
3) A female
Though most feminists are female, there can be
male feminists. A feminist is simply a person who advocates for women’s rights, that doesn’
t mean they themselves are women.
