Being a feminist in this hub-bub of a world comes with many tough hurdles against you. Not only do those who have not yet become aware of the wonderful ways of patriarchy blow you off as a radical castrator, but those who do support a world of love and tolerance seem to always be measuring and defining themselves against you. You know who Susan B. Anthony is? 5 points. Don't use your husband's last name? 10 points. Oh shit, you watch "The Hills"? Negative 25 points.
Why have we allowed this system of guidelines to come to define our lives and identities, and why don't we learn to appreciate every aspect of someone's personality as no better or worse than our own... Isn't feminism's core fluid? Isn't it all about equality?
My blog is here to show the ways in which a balanced level of understanding can be achieved. By becoming aware of all society's positive hints at change and not discriminating against those which are not "conventionally" feminist, we can learn to appreciate everyone and each other's personal achievements against patriarchal barriers.
Hope you enjoy, or should I say, WOMenjoy!
