How To Be A Good Feminist: A Guide I Made For Very Confused Individuals
Editor‘s note: Teo Mechea is a Romanian graphic designer and illustrator currently living in UK. She has just finished drawing her newest piece answering some questions about a popular topic in today‘s world – feminism.
The author says that it had always bugged her “how almost all of what the mainstream media can say about feminism is what certain women wear or do with their bodies, and is that feminist or not.”
“This is a little reminder of what it’s all about: equality and acceptance between both genders aka being decent people.The cheap and crappy debates of wearing a bra or not is what makes people reluctant towards calling themselves feminists even though they might agree with what the term promotes,” says Mechea on her Facebook.

yeah! when a woman say she want to be a stay at home mom. they're always other womans to take s**t on her for doing that
Merriam-Webster definition of feminism (quote) : Definition of feminism 1: the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes 2: organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests Feminism has nothing to do with race or orientation, this politically correct narrative is unfortunately counter-productive. Hijab and feminism are not compatible. Women got executed or worse by the thousands for refusing to wear it. Some still get viciously attacked for it. Stop this disgusting propaganda. Feminism was born out of struggle of very brave Western women. Just respect the facts and embrace the beliefs of your choice without reinventing history.
Feminism is all about equality, and equality includes religion, gender, ethnicity, nationality, health condition, marital status, opinions, sex orientation and any other that matters human dignity, and if you think about it, all this issues come from the womb, the family or family culture, which itself comes from women; so equality has much to do with feminism. Now, about the Hijab, its religious enforcement has caused a debate as western culture sees it as a symbol of retrograde religiousity, but non the less its a garment used by women not by men, so in feminism what's important is what women choose, as it is emphasised in the article above. And yes, you are right, feminism was born in western culture, at least in modern days, and thats because men had to go to war, I believe in WWII, so women had to take thier places in work posts, so when the war ended things never were the same again, as women felt independent and productive, and this has to do with equality. Thanks ur att'n.

"Feminism is about gender equality" -> yes; "and diverse accepatnce" -> no
This doesn't explain feminism....It explains common sense and how not to be a little s**t
'not acting like an entitled piece of s**t with people because of their gender, race, or orientation' Plot twist: That's exactly what many feminists do. Their bogeyman being the white man, which can be blamed for everything, even for not getting off their own backside.
That's the third wave ones, who act in such a way, and spread their mate about men.

Step 1 be annoying as f**k. Step 2 get triggered by everything. Step 3 go to mostly liberal sites and banter their to avoid evil facts.
Here we see exhibit A of how a lot of people now see feminists... Because the nutty ones are just nuts enough to make more noise and be covered by the media. I'm a feminist because I believe in equality of all humans not based on their sex but it has gotten to the point where you can't even start a conversation because people hate feminazis so much. It is shame that the actions of the few have tainted something that was a beautiful idea and has helped women have a voice... I wish 'equalist' could be used instead. Maybe then people would realise that it also isn't just a woman's issue - it is about breaking down barriers and remembering that men need equality in some areas too!

Wow what's this top comments that are conservative. ON THIS SITE REALLY!
I cannot support feminism. I cannot teach children that all men are monsters and that women are small sad creatures. Feminism is svary, feminists are scarier and I would so much rather have equality.
🤦🏽♀️ Did you even read the article?????? Nothing about feminism means that men are monsters, or that women are “small sad creatures”. Feminism IS equality!! It sounds like you read the title and just skipped the whole article.

Aren't you a charmer. Don't worry about your kids. They'll stop talking to you by the time they're five years old. Even little kids can spot a bigot.
