I fought it.. I fought the definition tooth and nail.. the OLD definition.
Okay.. I’m now thinking i really AM a feminist…
because, now I think one can be a lady AND a feminist.
Yes, please. Still open doors for me, treat me like a lady, but NEVER EVER DOUBT that I am your EQUAL.
It’s all about EQUALITY.
Thank you, Liz Warren, for giving me a reason to revisit my understanding of the word.
