Why The Majority Of Women Don't Want To Call Themselves Feminist
I was chatting with a friend of mine the other day when she asked me if I was a feminist.

She looked at me confusedly. “But feminism is about equal rights,” she told me. I told her I disagreed.

And it was in that moment I realized that feminists begin their argument in one place and end it in quite another.
