Weekly Participation

Ricardo Navarro

My interviewee answered the question: "Is feminism is a dirty word?" She felt that the word itself just has a negative connotation. Her thoughts are that many people correlate the word "feminist" to "man-hater." The cause of this correlation is unknown but a simple fix would be to change the word all together. By changing the word to something more universal, many more people would join the cause. This is because a new word could start off with definition of "equality" instead of "man-hater." Her beliefs are that a more positive word would involve more people. The definition of the word feminism is not dirty, but the word itself has grown an unexpected dirty connotation.
