A Brighter Future?

The past few weeks we have discussed the family life and career aspect of women. Although most of my fellow classmates thought these chapters were boring, I liked them. I think that it is interesting to see how far we have come and how far we still have to go.

While talking to several other students, it was great to find out that most have the same desire for equality. Although, the occasional few that don't are the ones that scare me. I don't understand why people are so opposed to being called or even linked to a feminist? Other than the upper class white male, who would oppose? Why is it that being called a feminist a negative thing? Why is it that society views feminists as bitchy, pushy, etc? I hope that in the future people will be proud to be called a feminist, I sure am!
