It's really sad how "feminist" has become such a bad word in our society, to the point where you yell, "FEMINIST!" at someone and they back right off. :P Nothing wrong with wanting equal rights, most feminists don't really want to neuter men. (Sorry, I'm coming across as a grumpy old lady here, I apologize. I've had this talk with so many people and the misconceptions about what feminists are is insane. We're not men-hating nazis.)<br /><br />One thing I love about your blog Tashia is that you are a outspoken feminist and you've never beat around the bush about it. I love your posts on the events and organizations you attend and work on, it gives me so much respect for you. This post would have to be one of my favorites, I love how you proudly stand up for rights for everyone. You are one awesome lady. katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631786849974735563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007702307131445606.post-12567016298560288052012-09-28T21:46:48.202-04:002012-09-28T21:46:48.202-04:00It's so funny.

She asked me, "Is that a bad thing?" It was wonderful to get to explain to her that it was definitely not a bad thing!KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549459094295044766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007702307131445606.post-61422950248859691872012-09-28T20:21:08.422-04:002012-09-28T20:21:08.422-04:00You & me both, my friend.

I think we need to change and live everyone an opportunity and an equal one. Actually this timing of a post is funny because the women at my work just had a meeting about "being a women and working at my company" and I learned out of fortune 500, FIVE women are CEOs... I think that statistic says a lot, and its not because we are not educated/qualified. That is for sure! <br /><br />Sara<br />http://seventwentysomethings.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037622977504167582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007702307131445606.post-21549781283369365082012-09-28T12:18:03.068-04:002012-09-28T12:18:03.068-04:00First of all, LOVE those pants (I know you've ...First of all, LOVE those pants (I know you've sported them before and I'm late in sharing my pants-crush wif ya...forgive me!) I very much like how many different "looks" you can create - all equally flattering! Secondly, this may be my favorite post since you began blogging. I completely agree/identify with every single one of your Friday facts. Wish we had a DC GLOW! And I remember your thesis vividly - it was, for lack of a better word, EPIC.
