I ask because I was thinking of how I went from a "one of the guys" type of girl to a full blown "bring down the patriarchy" type of woman. It wasn't one thing, it was many. Only through reflection and carefully putting the pieces together did I realize feminism was everything I had been feeling about my anger and frustration at inequality, and my need to make the world better for the people around me, but especially my neices.
So when did you realize you were a feminist?
I’d say I always was, but I didn’t adopt the label until I was exposed to stuff like riot grrrl and punk in the 00/10s. I’ve only recently gotten into reading the literature side of it.
