Feminism? What’s that?

Am I a feminist?
Are YOU a feminist?

The three types of people I come across in this issue are:

*”Strong headed feminists”
*Women afraid of being labeled a feminist
*People who think feminists are men bashers.

It’s very rarely that I come across someone who understands what it really means.

Well, what it’s really about is: CHOICE

Choice to live free of stigma,
Choice to lead the life we want,
Choice to have control over our own bodies,
Choice to be whoever we want to be.

Neither a housewife nor a stripper does anything wrong or bad for the “feminist movement”. It’s their choice and doesn’t mean that other women can’t become CEOs.

Women are the first to bring each other down, label each other. Slut, whore, gold digger, bobble head. We give the power to men to make us feel like a lesser sex. Oh us and organized religion, on that subject I can’t believe how any woman would believe in books where she’s as valuable as a piece of trash.

What some women don’t understand is a woman has the right to use her sexuality as much as she has the right to be a member of the congress.

Using our bodies don’t make us lesser women or lesser feminists.

A prostitute is not a lesser woman than a school teacher and a school teacher is not a lesser woman than any other. We -men and women- are equal. Life is equal.

If someone is happy with what they are doing then who are we to talk.

This is not feminism.

Feminism is claiming the right that women have the CHOICE to do anything any other human being does. We can do what we want to do, and be what we want to be. We have the right to be free and happy.

We are claiming our bodies, our identities and our freedom back.

So my friends, YES, I am a Feminist! This is what I’m fighting for.
