What It Means To Be A Feminist

"It's important to acknowledge that women of color, and poor women were excluded from original feminist movements. And if we're going to redefine today what it means to be a feminist, we need to acknowledge that original exclusion, and make sure that their voices are amplified in our new movement."

This is what being a feminist actually means.

0:30 my consumer science teacher literally used those same exact words as an example for equity

[ockertviljoen]

And I still dont know what feminism is after this video

Fair isn’t everyone getting the same thing. It’s everyone getting what they need to succeed.

Am I a feminist if I believe that men and women should be equal and I understand that both sexes struggle with inequalities and want to help change that?

[aprilfoozeler]

I feel like feminism means different things for different people, some people think feminism is females trying to overpower men, which in my opinion is wrong.

[malikha]

0:57 ok i know this is an old video and maybe no one sees this but can someone give me a real world example of the difference between equity and equality? the way she explained it makes sense but i don’t see how that would be applied in a real life scenario

Okay just because a girl has a boy haircut doesn't mean they wanna be a boy I shaved my head because u wanted to not because I wanted to become or be a boy

Women and Men should be treated the same. Plain and simple. No one sex is better than the other. They should all be respected. Some believe feminists are a group of women who think they are better than men. Like in anything, you have people that go to far and corrupt an idea.

What the hell is wrong with most of these comments. It‘s actually quite saddening. Some people take their own interpretation of feminism too far so I‘m not saying it‘s always good but at the same time it‘s so, so important. It was feminists that fought for women‘s rights to have voices in elections and so on. That is freaking important!

Equality or equity? I heard two different answers

[ruthosorio]

Feminism is inclusive of disabled people! So can you add captions to this video? Thanks!

[marinesreccy]

I'm a feminist. I believe I've been a feminist before I knew there was a term used for it.
Take that, baby 💖

Why are there so many dislikes and bad comments, the vid is just trying to prove a point for equity

[ACOnetwork]

I do not care, if you are male or female, I like to see, that all of us get the same treatment. I know, that females are suppressed in some cases, like they can not do the same work as men, I do not agree with that, except that is literarly correct.

People, just support each other, be good to each other and be happy 😁

I am a woman I am a woman I am a woman. Thank the gods I am a woman. I Love being a woman.

You all claim to hate feminists and make fun of them but go on every single feminist video.

[jexvpmu]

I believe all genders should be treated equally and have all rights equally. But I'm a boy so does it still count?

[vorygyal]

🤔 some people b thinking we fems hate men 😥 but we really don't ‼️

Feminism also means if boys keep short hair, even girls will keep short hair.. like here shown in video
