I go to a very conservative school, live in a remarkably conservative state. Yet it's pretty interesting looking at the history of things around here... to see that we were one of the first states to have women involved politically and in the career world... and now to see the captivity women face around here...
It's interesting how things change.
I'm a feminist. I've said it flat out to a lot of people here (Utah) and get flack. I work with men. I enjoy it. But i'm a woman and I'm willing to share it.
I'm a feminist because I believe that women must embrace their feminine traits. I believe that women have a right to be women, to be respected, to be listened to. We know what's going on in the lives of those around us. We are capable of making great and beautiful changes to the world by pooling our resources. We deserve to be more than just slaves in our homes and to our families.
Funny, the rest of the nation seems to get it. Why is Utah so far behind?
