Feminists Don’t Wear Makeup and Other Misconceptions

I’ve been studying feminism for a  few years now and i’ve been a feminist my entire life. It’s amazing the sort of things you hear from people in regards to Feminism. Here are some of my favorites:

“All Feminists are Lesbians.”

 “Feminists Don’t Wear Makeup.”

“If You Practice Feminism, Then You Burn Your Bras.” 

“If You’re a Feminist, That Means You Hate Men.”

“Men Can’t Be Feminists.”

“We Want MORE than Men.”

“Feminism is Obsolete.” 

“Feminist Men Are Always Gay.”

The above quotes  take the cake on the subject of ignorance. Feminists don’t want to take over the world, Force your children into homosexuality, or dominate the Male sex.

Being a Feminist is about the choice to make your own decisions; *Respecting yourself. It’s about being Separate but Equal to Men. It’s about believing you should make the same amount of money as your male co-worker for doing the same work. Last but not least, Feminism is about being comfortable with who you are and what you look like. We are all individuals, not cookie cutters. We are all beautiful.

If I wanna wear lipstick and purple eyeshadow, that’s my choice. If I don’t wanna wear a damn thing on my face, that’s still my choice. It doesn’t make me less of a Feminist, in fact- it’s what MAKES me a Feminist :)

When you Really Think About the Facts, Feminism isn’t very radical. It’s just realistic.

As the Author of this beauty blog, I want my readers to know how much I support Feminism. It’s an important subject to me and i’d be happy to discuss the topic or answer any questions. Just use that little “contact” tab to the left on the homepage or message me via Facebook.
