I did not expect this. A strong woman not blindly following some ideology, but standing up for what she thinks is right for her. This is what a real feminist looks like. Thank you for this!
''Feminism belongs to she who choses''.I don't call myself a feminist,or fall in line on the issues that most modern feminists consider relevant.But if i have a daughter,and when she becomes interested in gender dynamics,and feminism by extent,this is the video i want her to see,and this message to absorb.This women is power,strength and fire,just what she is supposed to be.That's a message i can always get behind
First of all, I DESPISE modern feminism. That said, I give this girl a standing ovation for calling out the radical and cancerous feminism, it is the first time I see that and I'm seriously impressed. We need more feminist like this girl.
That'll blow your head back in all the right ways. Coulda used this poem when I was getting married for ALL the shit I kept taking from friends for taking my husband's last name. Loved this.
Damn right! I am all for women like these who can stand their ground, no bullshit, right to the core! She knows what's up and isn't afraid to tell you either! I support this, not the modern day feminism that's just pure man-hatred. We're supposed to co-operate, to love each other and support each other, not to spread hate for no damned reason.
I don't agree with everything she says. But she is the best feminist poet I've heard. She is am actual poet and she isn't basing her ideas of watery bullshit. I like this one.
This is actually real feminism and the "feminism" you're probably referring to is probably either a straw-man argument or what is known as White Feminism, or a form of one of the earlier waves of feminism. Feminism just means you support women being equal socially, economically, and politically and their right to choose to be whatever they want.
johno doh totally understand what you're saying because the name of modern day feminism has gotten fucked up, but please just look up the definition of feminism before you claim you're against it. You missed the whole point of this poem if you commented that because the point she is making is that feminism has leaked into something that the actual definition is not. Upon other things, she's claiming that this "feminism" that people are practising is bull shit, and that feminism shouldn't have any rules. Also in case you don't lookup the definition of feminism, it's simply that men and women should be equal, so do you care to change your argument now? It's not man hatred or that women are better or deserve more, it's literally just that we deserve the fucking same.
well maybe you don't need feminism but other women do. There still is a significant deal of people who believe that women have a certain place/job in society that tends to be lesser than that of a man. You, of course, are entitled to your own opinion but by saying you are "anti feminism" is to say you are against the advocacy of women's rights. Although, if you are trying to say that you are specifically against the NEW waves of feminism (which it doesn't really seem like you are) then I would agree with you because they are completely misinterpreting feminism and are ill representatives of a needed movement.
Honestly, I'm trolling for some cringe right now but did this woman just use feminist slam poetry to roast modern feminism? I've got to say, I didn't expect that.
People on this video acting as if she's the first ever "good" feminist. She isn't, y'all just focus on what you want to and then claim you're anti feminist as if that makes you special.
