Who is a Feminist?

"Self-acclaimed feminist are those who boldly declare the awareness of their responsibilities as leaders and role models." Prosper Esmee

“A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.”

― Gloria Steinem

“The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it. ”

― Roseanne Barr

The feminist knows that equality is like respect which is not demanded but earned and she is willing to earn her place of honor without intimidation. “Men are from Earth, women are from Earth. Deal with it.” ― George Carlin

This reflects the expectation society has about a woman as a female gender to be more introverted and take her position behind the man. For every successful man, there is a woman behind. Actually there is a reason the woman has to be behind but that doesn’t mean she is sub-servant it means she is performing a role being positioned that way. In solving yesterdays’ challenges, new challenges often surface that could render yesterdays’ solutions unfit or harmful for the present, if the woman is behind, she can see it and fix it before it bites them from the back.

If a woman is tough, ambitious and knows exactly what she wants makes her a bitch, that becomes matters of your own opinion especially if these same traits are applauded in a man.

“I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.”
― Jane Austen, Persuasion
