10 Reasons Why Most People Are Feminists (Even if They Don't Know it) - Comments

I never considered myself a feminist because I didn't really understand what feminism was about. Now I'm getting into it more and more, and while I agree with the things you listed here, what I've learned about feminism only strengthens my belief that I was not a feminist until recently.

The reason for that being, I didn't understand the politics of feminism, nor did I care. I didn't pay attention to statistics; I didn't have anything to do with advocacy; I didn't know what "rape culture" was or understand why it was so prevalent or how it is perpetuated; I didn't know any of the economic implications feminism needs to remedy except for the lower wages. I didn't know any of that, and it was because I honestly didn't care to. It never even crossed my mind.

Now that I've befriended some feminists and I see more and more about it in my every day life, I realize there is a lot more to feminism than just thinking women should be treated as well as men. It's understanding the underlying causes, the effects, the implications, and the system--there really is an actual, unofficial system, which I had never realized--that are keeping women from true equality.

1. (Vast number of reported victims.) But, yes, I agree.

I think a lot of these are broad and not necessarily feminist in nature. I can see how an individual would support some of those things in a very anti-feminist way.

But anyone who supports equality for men and women is a feminist :)
