You can still be a feminist and be the ultimate wife while raising a family. I am going to be the best wife and mother while also holding down a job. If you feel like you need to choose between being a feminist and raising a family, maybe you don't truly understand what feminism means.

Being a feminist doesn't mean that you have to be the boss of a company and live alone, thinking you are better than every man around. Feminism is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.

Hearing women say they are not feminists doesn't make sense to me. You don't want to be treated equally? As a woman, this baffles me.

To me, being a feminist isn't something that is meant to create drama or start a debate. It just means that I have respect for myself and all of the other women in the world, and I believe men and women should be equal. I don't want women to be above men, just equal in every aspect of life. As it should be.

I honestly can't believe we live in a world where the word "feminism" even has to exist. We are all human and should have been thought of as equals from the start, no matter the sex.

This does not mean that choosing to be a stay-at-home mom and choosing not to have a career is a bad thing. It just means that women should be able to make that choice because it is what they want, and not just because they feel like that is what society thinks they should do.

Some people think women already have all of their rights so enough with the protesting, but you are wrong if you think women are just as equal as men in our society. We have come a long way, but our job is not done and there is so much more that needs to change before women can stop demanding respect.

These protests are still happening for a reason and if you are getting annoyed with seeing or hearing about women's rights then you might want to delete your social media and turn off the radio, because it doesn't look like it will end anytime soon.

It doesn't matter if you are "sensitive", that has nothing to do with respecting yourself and wanting to be thought of as an equal.

Never settle for thinking you are not strong enough to be a feminist because if you care about yourself and want respect then you already are one.

And that is a good thing.

Being a feminist is going to make me a better mother because I'm going to teach my daughters to respect themselves and I'm going to teach my sons to respect women, and of course that they matter too.

There is hope for the next generation, but only if they are raised by feminists.
