"I have been a feminist since I was thirteen. Discovering feminism was like finding a new vocabulary, a new language to express ideas about individual and structural injustices, some that affected me, many that didn’t. Becoming a feminist was empowering, an immediate connection to have with strangers, a way to direct my academic life, the subject on which I was allowed not to be polite. I identified as a feminist before I identified in any other political way (except perhaps as a Democrat in the lead up to Obama’s 2008 presidential win). I refused to reassure concerned acquaintances that I was “not that kind of feminist”, in part because the kind of feminist one is expected to reject being is angry and hairy as opposed to white supremacist or pro-life. There is space for anger and hair in my feminism. There is none for racism or state control of women’s bodies. Since becoming a gender and policy student, my feminism has not only required me to speak up, but also challenged me, as a white, middle-class, cis, straight woman, to stay quiet, to learn when my voice isn’t the one that needs to be heard, to learn when I shouldn’t be speaking but listening. More than this feminism means that sometimes, in the name of equality or rights or justice, people have to lose things: power, money, opportunity, land, and have the dignity and understanding to recognize that this is because it was never distributed fairly in the first place. I have subscribed wholeheartedly to Flavia Dzodan’s sentiment: My feminism will be intersectional, or it will be bullsh*t. So should you." - Sadie Kempner, 22, DAUK Women's Caucus member To hear more inspiring reflections on feminism, check out our blog (link in bio). . . . . . #daukwomenscaucus #feminism #feminist #iwd2019 #womenshistorymonth #women #democrats

"When I was younger, the word 'feminism' made me cringe. I tried so hard to be like 'one of the guys'. To be chill. To let sexist and racist jokes flow like water off a duck’s back. Now, when asked if I’m a feminist, I unwaveringly say absolutely. My mindset changed when I saw that women were making less than their male counterparts and that the disparity widened for women of color. I changed when I realized gender went beyond the binary. I changed when I began to challenge the dissonance I felt instead of trying to bury it. I am a feminist." - Laura Donohue, 28, DAUK Women's Caucus Member For more inspiring reflections on feminism, check out our blog (link in bio). #feminism #feminist #iwd2019 #womenshistorymonth #womenshistory #herstory #women #daukwomenscaucus #democrats
