In fact, I have often been told that I that word. Furthermore, I wonder why people are have a rather sunny disposition on life. So what does so afraid of being associated with it. Rebecca, West it really mean to call yourself a feminist? once said, "I myself have never been able to find out The textbook definition of feminism is the belief in precisely what feminism is: 1 only know that people the social, political and economic equality of the sexes. call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that By this basic definition, anyone that believe women differentiate me from a doormat." Contrary to popular and men deserve equal rights under the protection of belief, Feminism isn 't a mythical, frightening thing to law and believe that both genders should have equality be avoided.

Dan Workman Opinions Writer 6:47 A.M.; I mount my 70 dollar Wal-Mart mountain bike and head down 800 west for my Tuesday classes. As I gain speed I issue a silent prayer that my brakes will provide me with "just one more day" of semi-reliable service. The fact that I am still 7/8ths asleep makes my attention to detail virtually non-existent, but I still can't help but notice the banner strapped to the back of the school. Being the size of a small European country makes the "Excel" poster difficult to miss. As you walk through the hallways of UVSC, flyers and the hypnotic swaying of the "Excel" and "All-Star" signs bombard you.

I believe that Cheris Karamarae and Paula Treichler said it best when they stated, "feminism is the radical notion that women are people." Extreme, isn't it? A movement combating objectification, sexual harassment, domestic violence and oppression has done nothing but benefit our society, and we should be proud to associate ourselves with it. Furthermore I ask you, is there any thing more refreshing than a bright, independent female with her own thoughts and opinions? It's a beautiful thing. So next time you are tempted to start off a sentence with "I'm not a feminist, but..." you might want to rethink your choice of words. Feminism...embrace it, own it, love it, live it.
