You Might Be A Feminist If....

Okay, so this is probably going to piss a lot of people off but I keep having the same concerning conversation with highly educated women and men. Women and men that I respect, about how they are, IN FACT, feminists even though they claim that they are not.

I know. I'm a terrible person because you really shouldn't tell someone they are something when they say they aren't but what they mean is that they aren't a third wave feminist.  I know this really all boils down to vernaculars but, guys, it's IMPORTANT. FEMINISM IS IMPORTANT.

But first, a word about myself.

I'm not a third -wave feminist. I'm a stay at home mom, Christian who respects her husband and loves Jesus.

AND I'M A FEMINIST.

And, I'm betting by most definitions, you are too. So I wrote a brief quiz you can take to see if you are one. If you are a woman, simply decide if you did or have ever done any of the following things and if you are okay with them being done. If you are a man, simply ask yourself if you would be okay with your wife/mother/sister/daughter/grandmother/friend/acquaintances doing these things.

1. You chose what you wanted you wear today.
2. You decided to wear makeup today.
3. You decided what or if you were going to wear undergarments today.
4. You voted in the last election if you legally could.
5. You chose who to marry.
6. You chose how many children to have or not have.
7. You chose to have sex.
8. You chose not to have sex.
9. You chose to engage in a conversation.
10. You chose not to engage in a conversation.
11. You chose to go to school.
12. You chose no to go to school.
13. You chose to go to the work place that you applied for. 
14. You chose to spend the money that you earned without asking a male relative or official. 
15. You chose to voice and opinion or not. 

If you did or were okay with any of these, guess what? Yep, you're a feminist. 

But guess, what that's totally fine because here's the bare-bones definition of feminism "the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes" That doesn't sound so bad right? Nope, not so bad at all. So calm down.
