Some people ask: "Why the word feminist? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights, or something like that?" Because that would be dishonest. Feminism is, of course, part of human rights in general—but to choose to use the vague expression human rights is to deny the specific and particular problem of gender. It would be a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries, been excluded. It would be a way of denying that the problem of gender targets women. That the problem was not about being human, but specifically about being a female human. For centuries, the world divided human beings into two groups and then proceeded to exclude and oppress one group. It is only fair that the solution to the problem acknowledge that.

"Feminist" is a word that we need to reclaim and not feel ashamed to use. So, I'm a feminist and I need to use this word more often.

I’m disappointed with her views on transgender issues, but she’s an intellectual with some meaningful things to say, whether or not they conform to my own personal credences.

Aunque estoy de acuerdo con la premisa del libro, su inicio y su final, creo que en su desarrollo le ha faltado una voz masculina, ironico como suena.

Por ejemplo en un momento dice "una mujer tiene que pensar como se viste para una reunion, un hombre no". Estoy seguro de que esto lo hubiera cambiado si lo lee un hombre. Es posible que una mujer tenga otros filtros adicionales pero la ropa tamiben es importante en el caso del hombre.

Wow. I thought this was a great book and was going to rate it 5 stars, as I thought it was a great introductory book on feminism. I then found out that the author is a TERF (I just learned this term, which stands for "trans-exclusionary radical feminist") who supports JK Rowling's transphobic viewpoints. If we want the best information and viewpoints on feminism, we should be reading books about intersectional feminism.
