Feminist

 

 

This week, while visiting my service learning project at my old high school, I was amazed that the concept of feminism was really unknown. While at the school, Northwest Academy, I decided to take a survey on if the women/girls were feminist or not. Here are a few answers I received:

 

1. I am not a feminist because they hate men.

2. I am not a feminist because I believe men are the superior being. Just like the bible says, men has dominion. (and they ranted on about Adam and Eve).

3. No, I am not a feminist because I believe that women and men should have equal rights, not women being superior over men.

4. No, because I do not want to do a men's job like take out the trash.

5. No, because I do not want to live in a world dominated by women.

and lastly, 6.No, because I cannot agree to something that I do not know what it is.

 

Concept number three and six stood out to me because number three was exactly what feminism is, women having equal rights as men. Number six stood out because this answer can from ten people I interviewed. They said because it was associated with negativity, they do not want to be apart of it. My survey helped me a lot because it let me know that many women do not believe in their rights or that some of them just do not want to be equal to men.
