Feminism

This week in class we discussed the term 'Feminism' and all of the nasty connotations that sadly enough come with it. I used to be like that. I thought that all feminists were just angry women that hated men and were crazed with the idea of women taking over the world. Little did I realize, that I have more feminist qualities than I was willing to admit. That's right. Me. I'm a little feminist, and I have had girls tell me this before. I see it as a compliment now. I believe that men and women are equal on all grounds and should be treated as such. I do not think that women should be paid less in the office or treated as sex objects either. We are all people and should treat each other with decency. Plus, I like boys, so the whole 'man hating' ideal really doesn't work with me, or any other feminist girls that I know. In fact, most of them, like myself have a significant other, or at least someone that they are 'seeing'. So, to heck with the stereotypes on feminism. Men shouldn't be afraid of us, they should embrace us because we see them as equals too. At least, I do. And, I can only hope the rest of the feminist clan believes the same notions.
