feminist does not equal man-hater

This topic was brought to light this weekend, and I’m just going to put the idea out there…(especially for all you spring chickens out there, that take for granted the women that fought long and hard for you to be you)…Feminist is not a 4-letter word.  Believing that equal rights for both sexes and the same pay for the same job, does not magically turn a woman into a man-hater.  Believing that the “woman’s place” is in the home…is ridiculous, women can carve a place out of anything they want.  The idea that you will never find a man because you can’t cook a four course meal, is dated.  I can’t cook for the life of me…and I happened to find a man so picky that it wouldn’t matter if I knew how to cook, he probably wouldn’t eat it anyway…

So fellow feminists (not man-haters) out there…answer me this, if a man took it upon himself to question your performance, or knowledge about your trade…(repeatedly) would you not be offended?  I was…I don’t like to be underestimated by anyone…(male or female)  and I would have never questioned his professionalism in his line of work.

Although I didn’t pose the question to Danica this weekend, I’m sure she’s had to “prove herself” in her line of work…her whole life.   I encourage all young girls to find a role model…(not a Paris, Britney, Lindsey…) but maybe one of these to get you started…
