RE: What is feminism to me? what I hope to achieve from taking part of the conversation!

in #womanpower7 years ago

Thanks for advocating for women, and feminism.

It's difficult to ask people to address the issues surrounding feminism in part because people are afraid to admit their part of oppression. I feel like we need to have the uncomfortable conversations, talk about our role in oppression and face the challenges of patriarchy.

I feel like admitting bias is a good start, acknowledging that we have biases against women, then making our best effort to set aside those biases and listen with genuine interest, setting aside whatever opinions we may have and hearing women is a good place to start, further uplifting women's voices and holding space for their work.
