Content: For
 
the
 
record,
 
feminism
 
by
 
definition
 
is
 
the
 
belief
 
that
 
men
 
and
 
women
 
should
 
have
 
equal
 
rights
 
and
 
opportunities. It
 
is
 
the
 
theory
 
of
 
political,
 
economic
 
and
 
social
 
equality
 
of
 
the
 
sexes. started
 
questioning
 
gender-based
 
assumptions
 
a
 
long
 
time
 
ago. When
 
I
 
was
 
8,
 
I
 
was
 
confused
 
for
 
being
 
called
 
bossy
 
because
 
I
 
wanted
 
to
 
direct
 
the
 
plays
 
that
 
we
 
would
 
put
 
on
 
for
 
our
 
parents,
 
but
 
the
 
boys
 
were
 
not. When
 
at
 
14,
 
I
 
started
 
to
 
be
 
sexualized
 
by
 
certain
 
elements
 
of
 
the
 
media. 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.
