Feminists are out to definine, establish and defend equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for women.
Opposed to domestic violence, sexual harassment and sexual abuse. Advocating bodily integrity, workplace rights, equal pay, autonomy and reproductive rights. Attentive to sexism, advertisements, gender binary, societal changes/norms, media, etc

Stay educated. Never stop learning, growing, changing and refining your beliefs and stance. Be thankful for what you have today and fight for what you want tomorrow. Woo

Do I have any comic book readers in the house? I was reading something recently about the alienation of women readers within the comic book genre due to the depiction of the female form. For example, in this picture you can clearly see the unnatural way in which this women is posing.
I went into a comic book store recently (no, I’m not a comic reader) and picked up three copies of Wonder Woman. I was actually surprised to find the women more accurately depicted than the above photo. The women were wearing suits and had normal sized breasts. What a crazy idea, right? Hah.
