FEMINIST BC

OUR GOAL: defining FEMINISM to as much as the public as we can. THE STEPS 1) randomly select strangers to define feminism 2) inform them of 3 goals feminists fight for 3) ask to re-evaluate FEMINISM 4) why do you fight for feminism? 5) why DONT you?

Feminist because I believe a world without oppression and domination is possible.

AND

because my amazing students change bring us closer to that goal everyday!

"BC everyone should be equal"

[feministbc]

"feminist BC: men can be sensitive too!"

[feministbc]

"because my gender should have NO limitations!"

"i am a feminist because i believe that men are intelligent and compassionate enough to treat women with respect"

feminist: because I should not be made to feel like a slut for wanting to enjoy sex

[feministbc]

[feministbc]

[feministbc]

" I grew up thinking I couldn't be both strong and feminine"

[feministbc]

"for me"

[feministbc]

wow, thank you all for all the support! we're really excited about how successful this has been so far.

BUT

I just had an idea. it would be really cool to have a few submissions to post during our presentation tomorrow (somewhere around 8:30 AM pacific time) so we can show how it works.

So if anyone still wants to send in a picture, we would be really grateful. You would help our presentation absolutely slay. Don't worry about being too late. If you've got something to say, it will be posted. Keep sending 'em in!

This will be our last text post before the presentation. Thank you all again :)

I'm a feminist because gender roles are fucked up!

[feministbc]

I'm a feminist because there is one section of one chapter in my math history book that's about a woman... and she was killed by an angry (sexist) mob.

FEMINIST BC: it’s OK for men to eat! Men get hongray! Why is it acceptable—nay! encouraged! for women to feel guilty for wanting to eat a cookie? I want people to STOP APOLOGIZING for WANTING + EATING.
