Content: When
 
at
 
15,
 
my
 
girlfriends
 
started
 
dropping
 
out
 
of
 
sports
 
teams
 
because
 
they
 
didn’t
 
want
 
to
 
appear
 
muscly. When
 
at
 
18,
 
my
 
male
 
friends
 
were
 
unable
 
to
 
express
 
their
 
feelings. decided
 
that
 
I
 
was
 
a
feminist,
 
and
 
this
 
seemed
 
uncomplicated
 
to
 
me. But
 
my
 
recent
 
research
 
has
 
shown
 
me
 
that
 
feminism
 
has
 
become
 
an
 
unpopular
 
word. Women
 
are
 
choosing
 
not
 
to
 
identify
 
as
 
feminists. Apparently,
 
I’m
 
among
 
the
 
ranks
 
of
 
women
 
whose
 
expressions
 
are
 
seen
 
as
 
too
 
strong,
 
too
 
aggressive,
 
isolating,
 
and
 
anti-men. Unattractive,
 
even. Why
 
has
 
the
 
word
 
become
 
such
 
an
 
uncomfortable
 
one? I
 
am
 
from
 
Britain,
 
and
 
I
 
think
 
it
 
is
 
right
 
I
 
am
 
paid
 
the
 
same
 
as
 
my
 
male
 
counterparts. I
 
think
 
it
 
is
 
right
 
that
 
I
 
should
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
make
 
decisions
 
about
 
my
 
own
 
body.
