Feminist Shouldnt Be a Dirty Word

The Author's survey indicates that Feminist is not a dirty word for her fellow students. Most of the results she got where meanings of the word, not so much of the answer she was looking for. After all the surveys she did what made me agree that feminist is not a dirty word was the definitions that many of the students gave her, they all had to do with the rights of women. The reasons why Libby offers why there are not more self-identified feminist is because they don't know the true meaning of it. They act on by the definition of the word, many don't know the true meaning of this word so they don't consider themselves to fit in this category. The meaning of this word can be seen in many different ways but it all depends on the person and their actions to see if they fit in. Libby thinks that more people should identify themselves as feminist if there wasn't a confusion on the meaning of the word, and if one beliefs in these ideas then they should call themselves feminist. As for Libby her belief and definition of the word is expressed in paragraph 12 as she states " Feminism to me is about giving women and men the chance to live the life they choose, free of sexism, sex exploitation, and oppression of every kind". Her definition of the word is what makes her believe in the word Feminist.
