Why Feminist, Not Equalist?
If you are one of those people, here’s news for you: feminists stand for nothing if not for equality; feminism is nothing if not for humanity. All feminism has ever tried to do is provide counter discourses to what is normalized and appropriated as “ethics” and “justice” by a privileged few in a society. Feminist praxis works towards providing a lens to view the variations and hierarchies that make up the category of “human”.
For the Record, we are not playing a zero-sum game. It isn’t Patriarchy vs Matriarchy. We, who believe women are people, would like a balanced power structure. One that includes all humans.
