Hello, It's been a while,
I'm sat here because I FINALLY got a computer that works, snaps to the boyfriend for replacing my graphics card.
Speaking of the boyfriend...right.
I identify myself as a feminist, I don't burn bra's and I don't attend rallies or anything (do we have rallies? I don't know...). But that's how I identify myself. When I tried to explain to my partner that I believed him to be a feminist (having grown up with two older sisters who are both strong women and his mum who is the best person I know), he acted like I'd accused him of something. Like he was absolutely in no way a feminist. He's since gone on to say that "feminism shouldn't even be a thing, it's just mutual respect" and fair do's to him, that's a big part of it, for me at least. And of course I understand that every feminist has her own definition of what it means. So, I gave the example of how every time I meet my friends, we text each other to let the other know that we got home ok, and he just stated that more women are attacked. I tried to explain how he shouldn't just take it as a fact, that I should need to worry if I walk home, but he shouldn't. He said that it did bother him, but what did I want him to do about it...It's like talking to a brick wall about it. There's no growth or understanding when it comes to this, it's just NO.
I really wish he could at least understand it and then make his decisions based on that. I'm not the kind of girl who thinks the female form is amazing and that it should be praised as it the vessel in which all life is created and that we should be treated like goddess's. That's not what I'm saying at all, but then at the same time, mutual respect isn't enough. Gender equality is a myth, it will never exist. But we have to keep trying and we have to understand that things have to change, I don't know which way things are going to go, but the way things are is unacceptable. Within feminism I include mens liberation, I'm not a man hating tempestuous bitch. I think he's a bit afraid that that's what feminism is.
