Am I A Feminist?

     Am I a feminist? Thats a good question. I wonder at times. I mean, as a woman I'm assumed to be one, but there's plenty of women that don't speak up or anything. I do speak up and write about it. My mom did the same when she was younger. Does that make me a feminist?

     I work a job and don't need a man to support me. So, does that make me a feminist? I comment in forums and on social media. Does that make me a feminist?

     Well, usually, those things equate to a feminist. In case you didn't know, I'll womansplain. Feminism is support for equality amongst the genders. It's called that obviously because women have traditionally been treated unequally to men. This is in almost every facet of society.

     From an early age I've supported women's rights and equality in general. I've done so now for more than half my life and will continue to do so!

     I also support a woman's right to be a "homemaker" or whatever she wants. Does that make me a feminist? Yes it does. Am I okay with a man being a "homemaker?" Yes, of course. Still a feminist.

     In the last few years I've posted erotic stuff and had some guys say that I wasn't a feminist because I was "too sexual" to be one. I told them off and lost them as followers on a site. Not a problem. I was in the right. I can be sexual and be a feminist. It's okay to have "man libido" and be a feminist.

     I wear tight jeans to show off my ass. Sometimes you can see my cleavage when I wear certain tops. Doesn't change a thing. I'm still a feminist.

     Point is, I've had some accuse me of not being a feminist, and I'll admit it, I wondered a few times in the past. I know now that they were just trying to bring me down like that want to do all women. Some guys can't handle it. That's their problem. I'm not sorry, I'm a feminist.
