Document Summary
There are many misconceptions about what feminism truly is. If you"re a feminist people label you as anti . anti men, anti anti sex, anti everything. Society says that if you"re a feminist then you must be an ugly women. The easiest way to keep women-especially young omen- away from from feminism is to threaten them with the ugly stick. its the easiest way to dismiss a woman and her opinions. The feminist movement has been most talked/ about written about by privileged white women, so people aren"t talking their issues seriously. Feminism is the medias favourite punching bag . There a lot of people benefiting from women feeling bad about themselves. so the media wants women to remain non-feminist and ignorant to free thinking. that way they can keep managing their thought process. One size (stereotype) does not fit all.
