“I’m a feminist because everyone needs to look up the definition of a feminist: According to Webster’s dictionary, ‘Feminism is the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. ‘Webster’s dictionary is a feminist. So often people think a feminist is someone who burns bras and wears shirts that read ‘men drool and women rule’ and, yes, that is a radical feminist, but today a feminist is defined as someone who believes women deserve equal rights to men. Everyone should be a feminist: male or female! Whatever a man can do a woman do, and probably better and backward in high heels.”
