Sometimes even cats and dogs can be best friends.

 

Maybe this is good example about toleration and friendship.

 

In my class I have noticed some levels of misogyny, because there is only 3 women it is so easy to diminish us. Most of men don't even speak to us. It seems to be some kind of "generally known fact" that because we are women we can´t know anything about computers *Excuse me, what did you just say??!!*  All this because one male student thinks that women, sexual minorities and foreigners (in this case incomers) are so much lower than him. Other male students don´t say anything that can interpret otherwise... Groups, big or small, always need leaders to show course. But I think this is not right goal. One of us just said that if she must be here alone she couldn´t last a week in these classes. I mentioned about this situation to one of my teachers and he just said:"Unfortunately this is male dominant line of work. But you did know this fact before you start your studies in here, didn´t you?". Well, we have to remember that even teachers are just humans, right?

 

Well, maybe this is just something about my person... I can be quite a hag if someone keeps molest me long enough. Especially, when my sex and/or orientation are used against me.

Sisters, keep your spirit high!

A few days ago I was talking with my friend and in some point of our conversation she said that: "It is so great that you are a femist. Actually, I really envy you for that. I really hope that I could be a femist, too. But I like men just too much!!". I felt annoyed, why? Answer is, just because me and her determine different way what feminist means. To her it means woman who just hates all men and hopes that them just vanish away. Yes, it is little bit narrow way to think (well, this is my opinion). Maybe that is why her comment made me feel offended. Does she think that I am so narrow minded? Oh no, does she really see me that way? Well, I do not think that man hater is same as feminist.

To me feminists are women who take actions for equality between genders. They are political activists commonly campaign for women's human right to bodily integrity and autonomy on matters such as reproductive rights, including the right to abort, access to contraception and quality parental care; for protection from domestic violence; against sexual harassment, street harassment, and rape; for workplace rights, including maternity leave and equal pay; and against other forms of discrimination. Does it sound like men haters? In my opinion no not at all.

Maybe our opinions are different, because our life experiences are also different. And that revise our view of life. How do you determine what are feminists?
