This is what a feminist looks like
April 1, 2008
When I was doing the interviews for Hijas, I asked all the women if they considered themselves feminists. An interesting thing that I noticed was that a lot of the younger women (let’s say under 25) were not comfortable with the word feminism and would say ”No, because I don’t hate men.” It’s unfortunate that the word feminism has become synonymous in any circles with hating men, and I was reminded of that discomfort with the word when a friend sent me this video. Check it out.
How do you feel about the word feminism?
