Feminist? 

"…a lot of us just don’t want to be associated with a supposed movement that has no unifying theme except for seeming both anti-man and against any woman who disagrees on the topic of what feminism means." ~ Salma Heyak

Gender Equality - The Gap Report

I've Changed

I’ve been working all day, researching, pushing posts and twitters out, bugging people for their opinion – following up on our last Guest Speaker’s question, “What is Equality?” We should know the answer to this, don’t you think?

34fba-a6f22b303c483be0730a2daa4245a96d Gender Equality just got a little more complicated, or perhaps just got a wakeup call.

I read a couple of her posts and noticed that she was also taken by Emma’ s HeForShe speech. So, I asked her if she would post her thoughts on where we are and where we’re going.

Ms Young and Some Reason


34fba-a6f22b303c483be0730a2daa4245a96d Ms Young, a contributing editor for Reason Magazine wrote an article which Time put on their website, entitled “Sorry, Emma Watson, but HeForShe Is Rotten for Men” If you are not prone to falling down after be assaulted by demagoguery or fall victim to vomiting when experiencing violent twists of logic, then give it a read.
