Heather McDermott Participation
When asked whether or not she believed that feminism was a dirty word, my respondent stated that she personally didn't think that it was a dirty word but that it's often portrayed as a dirty word. She goes on to say that when people hear the word feminist that people perceive them as someone who hates men and only wants women's rights. She believes that feminism means equality and that women won't be treated like commodities. Furthermore, she goes on saying that everyone wants to be treated equal and have a fighting chance in the world. She makes reference to the Constitution where it says "all men are created equal" and that it tends to be taken literally rather than for it to encompass everyone. In this she thinks it should be stated that all humans are created equal and if your human you should be treated the same. She also points out that there are different types of feminism and women perceive feminism in different ways. My respondent believes that it will be difficult to change people's perceptions on women's equality and points out that it's only been a few decades since women got the right to vote. She also believes that feminism should go a little further and allow men more equality in the sense of them being the homemaker and taking care of the kids without being put down by saying he's no longer a man by doing such things.
