Some women are die-hard, self-proclaimed feminists who fight for every injustice women face. Others feel that by calling themselves feminists, they are misandrists or have to give up their femininity or traditional place in life as a domestic goddess in an effort to fight the patriarchy.
This editorial was originally co-written on behalf of the PantherNOW e-board and was featured in PantherNOW. The editorial focuses on that feminism is and what we as a society should do about it.

Some women are die-hard, self-proclaimed feminists who fight for every injustice women face. Others feel that by calling themselves feminists, they are misandrists or have to give up their femininity or traditional place in life as a domestic goddess in an effort to fight the patriarchy. As with any group, there are stereotypes that have to be addressed and debunked, and this time, it’s feminism.
If you read the news or engage in any form of social media, you’ve probably witnessed the disagreements among people around the world about the status and importance of equality.
There are plenty of people who don’t support the idea that there should be equal rights and equal opportunities for men and women. There are even people who feel we’ve already arrived at equality for men and women.
