Thinking Feminism Made

More From Elizabeth Gilbert

I had a real come-to-jesus a couple of years ago when i started to see the direct line between feminism and everything else - feminism and climate change, feminism and poverty, feminism and hunger - and it was almost like i was born again and started walking down the street and was like, "oh, my god, there are women everywhere! they're just everywhere you look. there's women all over the place!"
Jesus Couple Real
What we need is a tough new kind of feminism with no illusions. women do not change institutions simply by assimilating into them. we need a feminism that teaches a woman to say no - not just to the date rapist or overly insistent boyfriend but, when necessary, to the military or corporate hierarchy within which she finds herself. we need a kind of feminism that aims not just to assimilate into the institutions that men have created over the centuries, but to infiltrate and subvert them.
Military Women Feminism
I get very frustrated when i hear women saying, "oh, feminism is passé," because i think feminism means empowerment. men can be feminists, too! many men are feminists. we need feminism. it's not against men; it's about the empowerment of women. it's the respect of women - giving women equal rights, the same opportunities.
Strong Women Mean Opportunity
As all advocates of feminist politics know most people do not understand sexism or if they do they think it is not a problem. masses of people think that feminism is always and only about women seeking to be equal to men. and a huge majority of these folks think feminism is anti-male. their misunderstanding of feminist politics reflects the reality that most folks learn about feminism from patriarchal mass media.
Reality Men Thinking
Women have always been more critical of marriage than men. the great mysterious irony of it is - at least it's the stereotype - that women want to get married and men are trying to avoid it. marriage doesn't benefit women as much as men, and it never has. and women, once they are married, become very critical of marriages in a way that men don't.
Men Trying Benefits
All year there have been these cover stories that the women's movement is dead and about the death of feminism and the post-feminist generation of young women who don't identify with feminism - and then we have the biggest march ever of women in washington. more people than had ever marched for anything - not only more women, but more people.

I have a good memory for early life. my visual memory is good about childhood and adolescence, and less good in the last 10 years. i could probably tell you less what happened in the last 10 years. i remember what houses looked like, sometimes they just pop into my head.
