feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
Empowering Strong Women
I'm 30 years old. I know exactly who I am. I am proud of all my accomplishments at my age. I have a beautiful house, car, daughter, and I'm retired. No one can ever tell me that I depend on a man. I have built my empire from the bottom upwards. I can say at the end of the day, I did all this on my own. No man should ever say shit, especially if they don't have their ducks in a row. Men have a hard time accepting a powerful and successful woman. I feel so fed up right now. I feel like at a point in life either you're going to add to my life or get the fuck out of my life. I will not settle for less than my happiness anymore.

And Valerie, So Over It
People around the world are struggling to come to terms with what appears to be a giant pratfall for mankind. After years of progressive politics, the bugle klaxon to stop and march backwards seems to have been sounded. A new US Presidency looms large over North America, and with it a sense of foreboding is creeping up on us. Questions of individual rights are again central, and we all know that women's rights will be among the first subjects queued up.

She Said, "Me Too."
Part of me had no desire to destroy his reputation. Except maybe that's not possible if I tell my side of the story. It shocked me the number of women who decided to defend his point of views. Actually, it doesn't shock me one bit, because that proves his manipulation has worked it's way to his friends as well.

Inspiring Feminist Quotes
Inspiring feminist quotes are a big part of my life. Sometimes I use them without even realizing it because what it means to be a woman is to confront a society rigged against you. That's especially the case if you're not a cisgendered, heterosexual, able-bodied, affluent, white woman. But females are strong as hell! We make history happen and we wear bloody shoes. Get to steppin'!

Feminism Around the World
Every country is different, and that is a plain fact. With these differences comes different people, and they may be different, but many of them have something in common because every country has feminists. They may not be active necessarily, and if they are lucky they don't have to be, but whether they actively protest or they simply believe in equality, they are feminists. The only difference is that they may have a different idea of what being a feminist means.

Is Veganism a Feminist Issue?
There are many branches of feminism, but something that recurs across various feminist ideologies is the idea that consuming meat and dairy is anti-feminist. Women who identify as feminist but consume animal-derived products have been accused of speciesism, or only caring about the rights of human women. Of course, the issue gets more complex when considering something like race; women of color are still treated poorly, but the rights of female animals are now a top priority of certain feminists.

Feminism. Top Story - May 2018.
You hear "feminism" and your mind instantly goes into arguing mode. Stop. "Feminism: the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes." This movement is entirely about equality. Not about women being better than men or vice versa. All women want is equality. In the job world, women still get paid less for doing the same job as a man simply because they are women. We get told we can't do certain jobs because it's not what a woman should do. What exactly is a woman meant to do? Has that been set in stone? No. We are all able to do whatever we want. A lot of people still believe women shouldn't be the breadwinner or earn more than a man. Some even still believe women shouldn't be in certain job roles because it's "too much" for them. I say screw all those opinions. I class myself as a strong, independent woman who can achieve anything she puts her mind to. I have massive goals for my lifetime in a field that is mainly male dominated, but I intend to work hard and make my way to the top. Hard work is what is needed to get to where we all want to be. If I work hard enough to get to the position I want to be in, then who on this earth has the right to take that away from me? I try to encourage my friends to work just as hard and achieve everything they want. Positive enforcement is sometimes all that's needed to trigger something in someone's mind to make them believe they can do anything in this world.
