Don't worry, I was too.
Almost all of my life, I decided women that were feminists were horrible people that I didn't want to be around because they would just try to get me to believe that all men are horrible and that we must be better than them. Women must be in charge and that we're oppressed because they are scared of us.
It seemed, from the outside, that their whole tactic was to attack the problem without doing anything to actually solve it. Why didn't they try to get men to understand why they were upset?
Well, that is what feminism is about now and I no longer am scared to admit that I am one of the people that is associated with the word that leaves a bad taste in peoples' mouths.
To be a feminist is to be a humanist where there is equality for us all.
This is the initial problem. Our present feminism is centered around changing the connotation of the word and how people intercept it, so that in our future, people (men, women, and everybody in between) will be proud to say that they are a feminist.
We will get our world to see this and accept it.
We are all Man.
