Thank you for recognizing that feminism exists as a force for positive change.
The fact that it's misused by some does not change that.
When my wife shays that she is a "feminist" this is what she means.
Like Jerry Clower said, she "don't want nobody messing with the deal she's got."
I am curious to find out exactly which countries are being referred to, and if there is a particular religion adhered to by these countries.
Thank God I was born in America. These people protesting in the street in the past few days need to read this article and learn what REAL oppression is.
God bless this woman for speaking out against it and I wish I knew what to do about it. I have three daughters and my heart hurts to think of them going through what these young girls go through. How can mothers allow it? I would die protecting my children. What is wrong with these women who don't care?
Agreed. She is doing something that is helpful for women. This is quite different from the 'other' type of 'feminists' who instead spends time quarrelling amongst themselves on whether 'militant feminism' is 'purer' than 'radical feminism,' and doing nothing else. True feminism is what this woman (and others like her) is doing, since it seeks to help, heal, empower and uplift women .....unlike all the stuff that goes under 'feminism' in liberal circles at universities is simply angst and vitriol (much of it directed against men and doing nothing to actually help women).
Bump!
113 million to 200 million women around the world are demographically "missing."
demographically "missing"? what the heck does that mean?
Answer: it means what ever the author wants it to mean.
