Knowledge is one of the key elements in acquiring a constructive balanced life. In our present society knowledge is power and it is crucial in understanding how different ideals work. Now, I would credit feminists under a light that states that most feminist are exemplary females who are humanists, power houses,and innovators. But, today I watched a video on You-Tube called “This is what a Feminist Looks Like.” I found this to be a wonderful eye opener because this video show that a feminist can be either male or female and is not an angry person who is a man hater. It defines and outlines what a feminist stands for. The video “This is What a Feminist Looks Like” declared how many feminist women feel about a feminism and it showed what type of belief system feminists were a part of. In general the women and men in the movie stated that a feminist is, “ social equality for women…a humanist, a smart, beautiful, fearless, strong, kind, intelligent, invincible, active, empowering, individual, cool, and funny, but most of all a feminist is a person who fights for equality for all people.”(http://www.youtube.com/) With these definitions in mind, I realize how important a fundamental understanding over the topic of feminism is in obtaining knowledge and a general comprehension of what is happening around you in the twenty-first century. Overall, feminism is a huge part of the dynamics of today’s society. Feminists today have more knowledge at their finger tips than ever and are using their knowledge towards producing media (through means of You-tube and other sites) for the masses in hopes to inspire others about what feminism is and what a feminist truly looks like.
