The term "feminism" generally holds a negative connotation in people's minds today. People associate it with radical and aggressive behavior. However, it doesn't have to mean that at all. The definition, according to Merriam Webster Dictionary, seems pretty cut and dry:
fem·i·nism \fe-mə-ˌni-zəm\
1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests
So, how can you change the meaning of feminism? How can you spread the positivity of women's equality without seeming crazy?
YWCA Knoxville strives to further the empowerment of women through positive efforts and work in the community. The issue of equality does not mean a gender against another gender. Through equality, men and women can achieve higher success through comradery. "Feminism" does not have to mean you are a radical for your beliefs. Instead, make it a part of your everyday life and help spread the positivity of what this concept entails.
