Why Every Woman (And Man) Should Be a Feminist
Hello Hollie, Glad you enjoyed the article. It's always great to hear women loudly and proudly state that they're feminists. I agree with your views on Jeremy Hunt, it's strange that men in power should be debating an exclusive female issue. Indeed, we do have a long way to go and, sadly, if women do not consider feminism relevant, I think true equality is going to remain a long way off.
John, lovely to hear from a man. Personally, I would fully embrace any man who wanted to be involved in the feminist movement. We women need more of you fellas on our side in order to achieve equality, because men, predominantly, remain at the helm. I think any woman who shuns a male feminist would be ridiculous in the extreme. I do, however, accept that there are 'social expectations' that make it hard for men to be openly feminist. I would say, George Bernard Shaw was a feminist (Germaine Greer would disagree with me), and if it was good enough for him, it should be good enough for any man today.
