Hello, I hope it's ok for me to try to revive this thread
- When and why did you become a feminist?
I feel like I have always been in a way, just didn't know it had a name. Even when little I would get frustrated about how us girls were looked down on and treated like weak babies.
- Why do you think feminism is still relevant to today's world?
Because gender separation and harmful biased assumptions are not over yet!
- What is difficult about being a feminist in general?
Listening to all the awful things people say and do and knowing you can't do anything about it in regards to the current situation. Fear of losing family over it.
- How do you think feminism gets treated in the MLP fandom?
...depends. I feel that the majority is either a bunch of strawmen or the ones who are for rights are the majority but get silenced by the louder part of the fandom.
- How does MLP support your feminist values?
The creator being a feminist! The show being all for rights and diversity and non prejudice actions!
- How do people react when you say you're a feminist?
I...don't... I just state what I know and my thoughts on the matter when I can. Then I let the other talk themselves out while they try to defend their hurtful behavior.
- What is awesome about being a feminist?
Feeling empowered, like I should just give up and let old white men run my base line.
- How has feminism affected you personally?
When I discovered it was a powerful and positive thing, I did so much research and observing. I became so angry and fed up with the world, but now that I have calmed my mind, I can think rationally about the subject and it feels great! I became better and stating my points too!
- What are some good feminist quotes, graphics, or articles?
-shrug- A song tho "Protest song, April Maze" "Blurred Lines [feminist parody]" "F*** You, Lily Allen"
