The way those security guards manhandled the guy who was yelling about us still selling arms to Israel was horrible to watch. Then cutting to her saying the party is about change, not protest, felt dystopian.
childhood trauma has almost everything to do with how people act out as adults and once we realize where it starts we can prevent it for future generations by being better parents.
My own definition is: a feminist is a man or a woman who says, yes, there’s a problem with gender as it is today and we must fix it, we must do better. All of us, women and men, must do better.
Η ΘΕΑΡΑ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, από το βιβλίο της "We Should All Be Feminists"
“The person more qualified to lead is not the physically stronger person. It is the more intelligent, the more knowledgeable, the more creative, more innovative. And there are no hormones for those attributes. A man is as likely as a woman to be intelligent, innovative, creative”
"I think every woman in our culture is a feminist. They may refuse to articulate it, but if you were to take any woman back 40 years and say, 'Is this a world you want to live in? ' They would say, 'No. '"
I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.
~ Rebecca West
This is not a quote, just something I want to get off my chests.
To people that think feminism is about hating on men and marriage, this thread is for you. Please read the quotes and understand what real feminism is.
‘Please do not be nice. Be kind. Niceness means always wanting to be liked, this is a particular affliction of female socialization .
Nice means silencing inconvenient truth’
-CNA
‘A man would be strategic, a woman would be manipulative. A man would be a leader, a woman would be controlling. A man would be authoritative, a woman would be annoying.
The behaviors are same but what is different is the body exhibiting that behavior’ -CNA
