my sister found much of her place of solace in feminism which resulted in her adopting and subsequently became a firm believer and annoyingly vocal supporter of the movement‚ preaching the messages and beliefs of it constantly.

people snarl at the word Feminist and while I used to shy away from calling myself one I now proudly accept it. I AM A FEMINIST AND I’M PROUD. I value my feminist views and defend them whenever people attack them. My values changed a lot due to my feminist views as I saw the way women were being treated and the way I was taught was the correct way for me to be treated and realized I wasn’t placing enough value on women and more specifically on myself. My values as a feminist made me realize I needed

In an ideal world both men and woman would receive the same pay‚offers and jobs. But that’s not the case‚ women are paid less and are given less opportunities than men.
