I Write About Feminism |
SAMANTHA AGE: 26 READ ABOUT SEX, GENDER, LGBTQ EQUALITY, AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND RIGHTS! AND ASK QUESTIONS! tweet me @SamanthaPajor What feminism means to me: Feminism is about people who believe in equality of the sexes. Each person is unique, with their own needs, struggles, and history. Feminism celebrates people for who they are and works to ensure that all people are treated equally, with dignity and respect. About this blog: I write about the issues listed above from my perspective as a feminist. It's not a feminist theory blog, but I hope that the issues I write about inform my readers on current events, politics, and the state of women's rights (mostly within the U.S.) |

Notes Just so you know…Men’s rights activists are not the “male version” of feminists.
Feminists are people of all genders working for equal rights and dignity for all people, regardless of sex.
Men’s rights activists are men who feel threatened by equality and therefore insist that male privilege and patriarchy must not exist because men (especially straight, white men) are discriminated against and oppressed. This feeling of oppression, however, comes from being intimidated by empowered, enlightened people. They feel oppressed because they don’t feel like dominant, patriarchal, dicks. I mean dictators.
