I’m a Feminist, But I Can’t Get on Board With the Women’s March on Washington

According to the definition of “feminism” below, I am a feminist. When it comes to women and equality, I want ALL the things: equal pay, equality in the workplace, freedom from sexual harassment, freedom to do and think what is fair and right because I am a human being. I don’t want to be treated differently than men—I want to be treated the same.

Yes, I am a woman, and a proud one. Thanks in part to the age I was born into, I’ve gotten an education, raised a family, enjoyed the choice to stay at home with my little ones and the choice to return to work. I am so thankful I have these choices, but I am not unaware that women still aren’t treated equally with men overall, especially in the areas of equal pay in the workforce and in sexual abuse and assault. Thanks in part to the free and easy access to pornography in our world today, women are still seen by many men simply as objects. And that is something I will speak out against, always, for myself and for my daughter.
