The article that we read, Fear of Feminism, was a real eye opener to me. It made me realize why women don't want to have a part in feminism. It has nothing to do with standing up for being a women. It has everything to do with politics. Many women are afraid to step out and speak out. They are afraid of what others might say and afraid of the backlash. They are afraid that it might be a turn off to men. But, in the end if they don't take a stand, then they are only hurting themselves and future generations of women. I think that the author of this article wanted to try to challenge us to make a difference by stating that in order to be a feminist, you must be bold, smart, courageous, sensitive, complex, you must know who you are and where you are going, and you must have a sense of humor. Well, what women doesn't want to think that they are or could achieve all of these things? I think that this was put at the end of the article to try to provoke this kind of thinking.
