Some things feminism has taught me 💌🗯

That life is so much more enjoyable when you accept yourself rather than succumbing to other people's expectations.
- That everyone has emotions that they have the right to express; for example men ð­ and we must reassure them that they have safe spaces where they won't be judged for opening up.
- life is easier when we just accept people for who they are, after all their individuality cannot hurt us.
- I am able to do anything I wish, even if it's not normal for someone like me to do. There is no line where you can stop pushing yourself for greatness.
- That the things older generations have told me aren't always correct, but are simply just an opinion and Its ð if I disagree.
- How important my education is, how lucky I am to have it and that I shouldn't take it for granted.
- I shouldn't be ashamed of my body or how it works, and those who shame me for this are the ones in the wrong.
- Everyone is equal, and I must keep reminding myself that before I think about putting other people down because I'm jealous of them or they annoyed me.
- Not everyone is going to agree with your beliefs, and that's ð, you must still respect them. (I've realised that the rule with respect is everyone is to be respected until they do something to loose your respect such as being horrible to you or having done something horrible)
- Everyone is different and we must not be prejudice. There isn't such thing as 'normal' but more like 'expected'; everyone is unique and doesn't have to live up to what people expect them to be like.
- If something is important to you, never stop believing in it just because somebody made you feel ashamed or upset because of it.

Feminism hasn't only showed me how powerful women can be, but also how everyone isn't all that different from each other. Sure, we are all one of a kind, but we have so much in common and life can be so amazing if we just treat everyone as we wish to be treated ourselves. It's taught me to think before I speak and that it's important to create my own opinions before people give me their own. I understand that a lot of people don't agree with feminism and sometimes don't fully understand it, but I still respect those people and just wish that they respect me. Feminists aren't people who push one group of people higher than others, they aren't aggressive or negative, but people who simply wish for everyone to be treated equally as that's what makes life fair and beautiful.
