I+am+a+feminist+because...

Post your "I am a feminist because..." here along with your name. Remember that the seniors need to do this before TUESDAY and the juniors need to do it before or at our mini-meeting this Thursday.

Mary Maddox: I am a feminist because when I was a little girl, I learned the word "femiNazi" before I learned the word "feminist." There is something //wrong// with a culture that uses this word. Comparing freedom fighters like Alice Paul and modern day iconoclasts like Gloria Steinem, brave people who sacrifice their time and effort and sometimes risk their lives to //increase// the freedom of others, with murderous fascists? Lame. And also a good example of situational irony, the English teacher in me can't help pointing out.

Kayla Diaz: I am a feminist because I like to go into the arcade in China Town and have boys stare in awe at the fact that I am playing Time Crisis 4, a shooting game, better than they ever could.

Natasha Tirado: I am a feminist because sexism needs to cease in order for the world to grow.

Ariel Bradley I am a feminist because I am a strong young lady.

Sapphire Hilton: I am a feminist because i like to push against barriers.

Jo'Nella Queen Ellerbe: I am a feminist because I'm Fearless. I am a feminist because i'm Awesome. I am a feminist because i am a Dreamer and a Believer.

Marjana Chowdhury: I am a feminist because I believe in revolution. I believe in equality among the sexes and without it, society will never progress. I believe in change.
