FEMINISM 101
“A feminist is a man or a woman who says, yes, there’s a problem with gender as it is today and we must fix it, we must do better. All of us, women and men, must do better.”
CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE, from “WE SHOULD ALL BE FEMINISTS”
There are so many misconceptions and misunderstandings surrounding the word “feminism” that we felt the need to create a space where we can share our perspective and understanding of the word. As proud feminists, we believe that feminism is first and foremost not about man-hating but rather about recognizing the unequal power dynamics at play in society on the basis of sex and gender and identifying ways to, as Chimamanda puts it, “do better.” We hope that by providing resources we can begin having the kinds of conversations that push all of us, women and men alike, towards doing better.
