Question

What drives women to become feminists?

Answer 1

I cannot speak for all feminists, but for me it was realizing after I had been repeatedly abused my men that I had self-worth. My ex-boyfriend starting calling me a w***e when I dumped him and spread nasty rumors about me. As a result, people started believing him and I was called a w***e right and left. I have also had a creepy stalker that sexually assaulted me and treated me like a s*x object.

It was realized that I have self-worth and I will not be degraded.  

Answer 2

Having been treated differently because one is a female. Most people think its being treated badly because one was a female but it can actually be being treated special also. Some women just want to be treated like humans..you know the same, fairly, treated based on who we are and what we do rather than being female or male.

Answer 3

Answer is:  The same thing that drives men to be mysoginistic d*ckweeds.

Answer 4

What drives women to become feminists is a deeply humanistic need to control the choices we make in our own lives - i.e. not have to be dictated where we live, what work we do, who we love, how we see ourselves and what kind of people we want to be.  It's not a hatred for men, but a wish to be the master of our own destinies.

Answer 5

Men like you.

Answer 6

I think you might be a bit of with your idea of a feminist. A feminist is a women or a man who believe in equal right for women. Feminists are not what they are made out to be which is a man-hatting zombie.

Answer 7

Being a feminist is an ideology, it really isn't a person but a belief. So it is the belief that actually drives the female into a narrow view of feminism which  she constructs in-order to form a   women vs men joust, or inner battle which makes her out to be the underdog. Believing that she has been exploited and used as a tool she slants toward a more egotistical view, which involves men having a vendetta against her ......and now she feels it is totally justified to use any means to degrade and use her new underdog status as a crutch, to exploit every day points of view to construct her own reality about women t******e  fortitude, which  really isn't in existence... and the point of view that men are self indulge odious forms of carbon ....
