Responding to Feminism

This article from the F-bomb has some very bold and interesting views on how to address the feminist label. The author's overall focus is that despite the negative stereotypes that go along with being a feminist, letting the public know about your opinions is worth it. She explains that publicly labelling herself has definite risks, especially in a college setting, but can be helpful to those who may share the same feelings.

I agree with what she is trying to explain in this article and compliment how outgoing she is toward a topic like this. I think the bold way she talks about this is necessary for someone who has strong feelings about feminism and other difficult topics like it. She expresses what she thinks is important and does not contradict herself in any way. I don't think that all people who have such strong opinions on feminism could be as outgoing because as she explains, being able to hold your ground on what you believe is key and it takes a pretty tough skin to do so.

Interesting point, I wonder if she would have not used as affirmative of a tone if her argument would have been effective.

I like this because it puts her in a role other than a sex object or a helpless girl. It shows that women can get power and hold on to it to prove a point.
