Be the feminist the dictionary describes

Every girl and woman you know has been affected in negative ways because she is born female. But society tends to only notice — and often weigh in — on the more famous cases.

Everyone who believes in equality economically, socially, and politically is by definition a feminist. But, that does not mean that feminists are unaffected by our entrenched ways of social sexism.

If Holy scripture (no matter which kind) says it, some people will believe that owning women, treating men as “better” people, and electing primarily males to be kings, pharaohs, priests, presidents, and rich elite, is the “normal” way of humans

Just as chimps and baboons have hierarchy, we evolved with it too. But with our far bigger brains, now, we can know and pass on more than they do. We do, after all, have a far greater vocal and written range to reach across from past to future.
