AGA Roll Call: Something Positive

Let's face it: being a woman and a feminist can be rough. While it isn't easy to write about the challenges and frustrations we face, we do seem more eager to jump to the pen with those things. So let's focus on a different truth: being a woman and a feminist? IT ROCKS!!!

Because the world ought to see just how much it rocks, I put this before my fellow bloggers: write an entry about an occasion where you had a FANTASTIC experience with your feminism or your womanhood! Did you attend a powerful protest? Put an authority figure's foot in their mouth? (I don't know about you, but I love that.) Have a successful debate in which you opened someone's mind? Did you just experience a miscellaneous, empowering moment in which you had to stop and tell yourself, "Wow! I love being a woman!"

Out with it! Tag "AGA Roll Call: Something Positive"!

Feminism has given me a context for my life. I've always tried to speak up for myself and other women and it can obviously be frustrating. Feminism has given me a community and the work of the women who came before me to build on. It also reassures me when I'm having doubts: of course I deserve to be treated like a person, of course I deserve to be heard, of course I deserve equality, of course I deserve opportunities.

I love the question.
