February 10th, 2017 could've been a normal day in State College— except it was far from. If you've ever taken a stroll past the Willard building, you'll be sure to catch the man in the red sweatshirt standing in his usual spot outside, most likely ranting about how sex before marriage is totally uncool. This is the Willard Preacher.

He's easy to ignore if you aren't in the mood to listen but when he was found bashing feminism on Friday we were all ears. Penn State's Academic Women's Studies Honor Society, Triota, as well as Planned Parenthood Generation Action, responded in the best way possible:

These students developed the simplest solution to the Willard Preacher's concern of feminists encouraging promiscuity and increasing the spread of diseases. Standing directly across from each other, here's what the polite showdown looked like from the perspective of a Penn State student exiting class today.

His strict views on women and their coveted role as caregiver bother me, but what's even worse is the vast number of people who believe the same. When I think of the people who are unsupportive of feminism as a whole, I get angry. But then I remember that there are people who pour their life's work into bringing attention to the inequality felt by half of the world's population.

I'm reminded of people like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the author who delivered a TED Talk back in 2013 called "We Should All Be Feminists". She eloquently stated, "Some people ask, 'Why the word feminist? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights or something like that?' Because that would be a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries, been excluded."

It may be a woman as well-known as her or it may be a group of students who choose to stand up to those who berate a civil rights movement put in place to heal social ills, not advance them. Either way, we can agree on one thing: everyone loves free sh*t.
