1. Feminist would be a dirty word for her students because they don't know the exact meaning or they've only heard the negative stereotype to the word. In paragraph two, one of the student's she interviewed used the words "hate, blame, radical women and bad" in their definition of a feminist. In paragraph ten the word " man-haters" is used in describing a feminist in a movie.

   Their aren't many self-identified feminist becuase they don't want to be associated with the word or they don't feel like they can call themselves feminist. They think that to be a feminist you have to actively participate in the whole feminist movement. Males don't consider themselves to be feminist becuase they aren't female. They feel like they don't belong or that they won't be able to contribute much to the cause.

   More people should be feminist becuase to be a feminist all you have to do is believe in the same ideas they do. Feminism isn't just for women, it's also for men. The whole purpose of the word femininism is to be able to have a choice, a say, a voice. It's about having equal rights and being able to live the life you want.
