“It’s Women’s History Month! How do you define feminism?”
“It is equality for both sexes. At first, I thought it was just about women and their rights, but I’ve learned that it is actually for both sexes and not just women.”
Ashley Lonergan, junior biology major
“Feminism means equal opportunity for all genders in all aspects of life.”
Natalie Badillo, law student
“To me, feminism is a movement to empower women through their everyday struggles and tribulations. It supports women through everything they go through to help make everything equal.”
Angela Wu, freshman biology major
“Feminism means different things to different people. A lot of people use feminism as an excuse so females can get more, when I think we should just focus on equality. This is not to say that men are treated badly at all, but I think it shouldn’t be about women getting ahead. It should be about getting equal. In that regard, I believe in feminism, but it shouldn’t be called feminism. It should be called equalism.”
Michael Friedman, junior theatre major
“To me, feminism means that basically women are going to make sure they have a firm place in the world, and that place is first place.”
Leonette Lee, doctoral student in clinical psychology
