Unity. Feminists aren't anti-men


Feminism, unfortunately, seems to be a dirty word to some people. In today world, where people are generally open-minded towards ideas like feminism, being a feminist is a no-brainer and there is a ton of support for that belief.

Feminism means believing that women and men are equal and deserve equal rights. If you agree with that, you’re a feminist. 

Studies have shown that female college students on average work harder than their male counterparts, are less likely to ask for help from professors, like extensions on paper due dates, and will typically be more involved in extracurricular activities. There is a sense of urgency for women, a desperation to be the best and push yourself as hard as possible, so you have the best chance of earning the money and opportunities you deserve

The women who are against feminism because they enjoy cooking for their family, or being a stay-at-home mother, are missing another key point of feminism- the right of a person to choose what they want to do with their life and have that decision respected and supported.

Yes, it sounds like a word that is female-centric, but women are the ones who have been the most oppressed throughout history.

It doesn’t mean that feminists don’t support a woman’s right to have a career and a family without being seen as selfish, or a man’s right to stay at home and raise his children without being seen as lazy or incompetent. Feminism means supporting one's right.

Equality between men and women exists when both sexes are able to share equally in the distribution of power and influence; have equal opportunities for financial independence through work or through setting up businesses; enjoy equal access to education and the opportunity to develop personal ambitions, interests.
