Document Summary

We should all be feminists- 2012 by chimamda glozi adichie. If we didn"t have gender expectations imagine how much freer we would be . Unlearn the lessons about gender that we"ve internalized growing up . Many men don"t actively think about gender everything is fine now . 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. That the problem was not about being human, Girls are taught to protect themselves and keep their legs closed from a young age.
