We Should All Be Feminists
by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Illuminating read. Based on Tedtalk given on 2012 and by now, nothing in here is new— and that’s a good thing. Because I’ve been self-educating on the subject and it’s good to be reminded from time to time.
“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.”
