I'm a Feminist Are You?

Living in a male central society, women are interrupted a lot of the time when they’re speaking. This interruption is so rude. Every woman is capable of expressing herself, her ideas and her theories, with no limitations. No one should ever stop her to add or paraphrase the issue. One of the best ways to be a feminist is to respect the women around you.

The worst thing is that we, as women, sometimes make jokes by sexualizing things. Misogynistic ideas is never a hilarious joke, period. It downgrades a woman’s worth and makes domestic violence acceptable. So shameful!

Stop being surprised when a woman succeeds or accomplishes things that are made for a MAN ONLY. Support women and educate young girls so that they know they can be scientists, judges, engineers or whatever they like. It is no more a man’s era, but women and man together are running the world. Choose a woman right now and support her in whatever she’s afraid to do.

Intersectionality is all about connecting oppressive thoughts against women. From racism to homophobia, sexism to classism, these ideas are hard to separate from how women are portrayed. Spread the stories of women who have faced them and let everyone know that the struggle is real.

If you witness someone shutting women up when they're talking, or when you see someone catcalling a girl, or even when you hear someone making a sexist joke, you should know what to do by now. This is not okay and you should let know anyone you encounter know that this is not okay.

Supporting women’s right is not enough. Reading this article is not enough either. Educate people around you about feminism and correct the bad connotation about it. I have called myself a feminist from the very beginning. Have you?
