What feminism is NOT.

Feminism is not one dimensional. It is not just about middle class women, or white women, or poor women, or American women, or even just women. It is not unique to a single cultural, class, or gender group. Is not time-specific. It is not bra-burning or man-hating. It is not lesbians who hate men; it is not women who are 'frigid'. Is not women who hate family and children. Is is not college-aged women. It is not hippie women. It is not women who need to find a good man and settle down. It is not unmarried girls. It is not Western.

So What is Feminism?

Wikipedia defines Feminism as "a number of social, cultural, and political movements, theories and moral philosophies concerned with gender inequalities and discrimination against women." But this one sentence means different things to different people. As feminists all experience the world differently and confront different issues in their daily lives, the meaning of feminism moves beyond a simple paragraph, a page, or even a book.

Realistically, no one person can define feminism. Feminism means something different to each person; it is a product of their unique life view, life style, and life experiences.

I invite you to expand the definition of Feminism to include… you. Tell the world what feminism means to you. Tell us why you call yourself a feminist… or why you don't. Because your definition of feminism matters. And your voice matters.
