I am not a feminist because I believe that men and women are both human beings therefore they are equal. In order to be a feminist one must believe that men and women are different. I believe that women do have "political, economic, and social rights equal to those of men" no matter what society says. In today's world women have the exact same opportunities as men have they just need to stop protesting and just take the opportunities that are right in front of them. If feminists want to be seen as equals to men they need to stop emphasizing on how different they are and instead emphasize on how similar they are to men. I am not a feminist because I do not take part in "the movement to win such rights for women". According to the above definition I am not a feminist because i do believe that men and woman do have equal rights and I do not take part in their movement. I do support the fact that feminists stand up for what they believe, but I do not believe that I am one.
