In response to Kevin Ly's post

Kevin Ly’s definition of feminism was “the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes” (Merriam-Webster). This definitions means that women should be treated equally in all of these categories. Nowhere in the definition of feminism does it say that men and women are the same. Kevin states that men and women are different. Men and women are not the same, but they should be treated equally if they do the same thing. Kevin then makes generalizations about the norms of men and women. He then admits that there are exceptions to the gender norms. The feminism definition is to protection those who are not doing the gender norm. They should get equal treatment and pay. That is why Kevin maybe should be a feminist.
