While I was doing my daily normal scroll through FaceBook I saw that BuzzFeed posted something about feminist. Of course I clicked on it, I am addicted to everything BuzzFeed. The post was
While I was reading it all I could think of was "WOW the people that said these things really don't know what's up"
I hate that people think feminist are out to get men. I REALLY hate that people think that we don't take care of our selves because it's "against the feminist code"
Stereotypes in are horrible, in any situation.
Don't lump people into categories. PERIOD.
Number 24 on list says something along the lines of feminist can't be stay at home parents.
WRONG!
We CAN be stay at home parents because we ARE feminists.
We don't have a rule book saying what we can and can not do. It doesn't work like that.
I would love to be a stay at home wife one day. I think it would be wonderful.
Just because I choose to stay home doesn't mean that I am the typical 50's house wife who belongs in the kitchen. No one has the right to tell you where you belong.
If I do become a stay at home wife, it's because I chose to be there, NOT because someone told me that I HAD to be there.
That's the difference.
Feminism is about equality of the sexes.
It's not believing that women are better than men. We are the same.
Therefore I will continue saying that I am a feminist on a daily basis.
Until something changes I think it's necessary to say it out loud.
When people hear you say that you are one, it sets up a line of communications. It lets you educate them on a topic that they might be foggy about.
Let's continue to break these stereotypes!
