What is the best thing about being a woman?
What is the best thing about being a woman?
That us women have such a special bond, you will always have someone in your corner who will stand up for you and be on your side when society lets you down.
The best thing about being a woman is that society thinks it’s okay for me to wear a skirt.
What does feminism mean to you?
Feminism is so important to me, it is the only political statement I would tattoo onto my body forever!
Equality between all the genders, no matter what you identify as. What would you say to a thirteen year old you? Even if it’s a little corny, I’d say not to focus so much on what others think. Why is gender equality important? Because someone shouldn’t be treated differently because they’re a woman. Who is your biggest role model? My best friend. She is so strong and brave enough to stand up for herself. What do you think is the biggest global feminist issue? That women around the world are being oppressed and are seen as weak yet have to endure so much just because of their gender.
What does feminism mean to you?
What does it mean to be a woman? It means you are a leader, a mother, a fighter. Why is gender equality important? Because it is ridiculous that women do the same job as a man for less wage, that women get catcalled and harassed in the street and get called bossy when they are leading, get called mean names when they stand up for their entitlement to basic human rights. Who is your biggest role model? Emma Watson. What do you think is the biggest global feminist issue? Women who do not access basic human rights because of their gender.
