5. Don’t be afraid to call yourself a Feminist.
Feminism has a bad rap. When you think of a feminist, you probably envision a angry man hating woman. Am I right? If that is the vision that popped into your mind, well… you are thinking about the radical side of the ideology. Just like the radical side of anything, extremes tend to slow progress. So goes the case for feminism. Most women and a lot of men hate the word. They would never be caught telling anyone they have feminist sympathies. Feminism is not what many think it is. It’s simply a push for equal treatment, not better treatment. Women should be paid the same, get the same opportunities and benefits that men get. Don’t you think? After all, when the women in your life are getting less…you get less.
