A person, typically a woman, who advocates for equality between
men and women and strives to defeat the divide between the two.
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.
1) For the past century a feminist movement has been striving for equality between the two sexes.
2) A feminist friend of mine taught me about the wage-
gap between
men and women.
3) Last week I went to my cousin Charlie’s
house, despite been male, he is a feminist.
