Document Summary
Essentially she is saying that there is not one-fits-all for feminism. You can question it, you can change it, you can criticize it but the movement itself is greater than all of us. To discount feminism is to be overlooking the strides that women before us have made. Being a feminist isn"t a bad word and being a feminist doesn"t mean you are perfect we all make mistakes and that is okay. In living a feminist life sara ahmed shows how feminist theory is generated from everyday life and the ordinary experiences of being a feminist at home and at work. We should be citing things from the reading where it works. Putting feminists on a pedestal is problematic because you are putting a lot of pressure on them. We have complicated feminist celebrities i. e. beyonce, hilary clinton. You don"t have to work the questions into the essay paragraph (list questions at the bottom)
