Emma On Becoming A Feminist
"When I was 8, I was confused about being called bossy, because I wanted to direct the plays that we would put on for our parents."
"[At] 14 I started to be sexualized by certain elements of the media."
"When at 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of their beloved sports teams, because they didn't want to appear muscle-y."
"When at 18, my male friends were unable to express their feelings."
"I decided that I was a feminist, and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word."
"Women are choosing not to identify as feminists. Apparently, I am among the ranks of women who's impressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, and anti-men. Unattractive even. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one?"
