This week I asked my interviewee if they thought the word "feminist" was a dirty word. He explained that he doesn't think it is a dirty word but that many people are not educated on the true meaning of the word. He admitted that before taking this class he though feminist was practically a synonym for man hater. He explained that many people don't really know the true meaning of feminist therefore it is given a negative connotation. He suggested that the best way to fix this problem might be to change the word all together. Feminism has gained so much bad publicity that it might be better to change the word to something new and spread the true meaning behind this new word.
