At what age did you have your first feminist experience and how did you come out as a feminist to your family?

Question

sheepy: most reasonable people agree with the original goals of feminism (equal opportunity) .

Modern feminism and its obsession with equal outcome is something completely different.

Answer 1

Both my parents are feminists and they raised me to be a feminist, so I don't remember a time when I wasn't a feminist and I never needed to come out.  Never been in that particular closet.

Answer 2

<arms held akimbo> I never had one and you? Tell me about yours.

Answer 3

I've always been a feminist. I only started taking it seriously around twelfth grade, after meeting another feminist who opened my eyes to a lot. Most of my family members would call themselves feminists if you asked them.

Answer 4

some countries have the death penalty for feminists

Answer 5

It was In the late 1960s old boy helping several ladies burn their brassieres, all in the name of the feminist protests of course. I was there purely to document the events with my camera you understand! "Right on sister's" t*t top.

Answer 6

I didn't

Answer 7

I was bullied into it, by this woman called " big Debs",  She introduced me to feminst literature, films and dungarees.

Answer 8

You know, the thing is, feminists believe that every should be equal regardless of s*x, and in my family, that's the general rule so...  I didn't really have to come out and TELL them i think every one should be equal...  because we... thought that already

Answer 9

"At what age did you have your first feminist experience."

When my parents told me I could do anything I wanted with my life. It wasn't until my adolescence that I realized not all girls get that message from their families. And it wasn't until my adulthood that I realized that a lot of people will work against women living their lives as they wish, out of spite, ignorance or hatred.

Answer 10

My whole family are feminist. In fact I think you'll find that most people are. They like the way we are now.

Coming out as an anti-fem, now that would be hard.

edit. As far as I am concerned Feminism means equal rights for men and women. Anything else isn't Feminism.

Answer 11

I think if I had kid's I would rather they be g*y then feminist's.

Answer 12

Gee, I don't even remember.  When I was a little girl, my parents were always clearing up the BS about girls and women that I heard out there in the world and brought home with me.

Answer 13

I didn't either.

Answer 14

Well in my experience, I was brought up in a very modern house. Man+woman=equal. So for me, I had to come out as an anti-feminist to my family. Big shock there lol.
