A Feminists Is…

Gabriela Gomez
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at TAMU chapter.

“Feminist” is an insult,

A disgusting term

A slur

Oh god! You’re a feminist

.

A feminist does not address inequalities

Between men and woman

A feminist hates on men

They discriminate

.

How dare you be a feminist!

.

Sure, the term meant suffrage in the 1920s… 

But now?

A feminist is a sexist woman

A feminist is an unstable woman

.

A feminist is not someone that addresses the wage gap

–That affects fields differently– 

nor someone that questions the design of cars

–cars build and tested for men–

.

A feminist is a man hating beast

.

The world is not build for men

–Regardless of laws that protect them–

This world is equal for all

There is no need to be scared to walk home in the dark

.

A feminist hurls allegations

.

They led the me too movement

–a movement that advocated against sexual harrasment–  

Which was a horror show that encouraged women to step forward

Just because he settled a for the lawsuit doesn’t mean he’s guilty

.

They shout from the top of their lungs

Yelling about injustice after injustice

When they can stay silent instead

And smile more

.

Feminists need to shut up

.

Don’t be dramatic; don’t be a feminist

Let the world silence you instead

Because god forbid a woman demand equality.

Howdy! I’m Gabriela Gomez, an avid reader who is interested in all areas of publishing and writing. And reading of course! I’m the Editor-in-Chief; I currently oversee all the publishing of articles for the Her Campus at TAMU chapter. I am overjoyed to read all the members’ articles and make any corrections that will help to elevate the article. I have been with Her Campus at TAMU since my freshman year. The first year I was a general member on the Writing and Editing committee. During that first year, I wrote a total of 23 articles and was always finding new ways to help. For my second year, I worked as the Senior Editor, publishing more than 80 articles and writing 38 articles. Now in my second semester of junior year, I have implemented a new pitch process for better organization and cleanest, I have already published more than 170 articles, and I have written 16 articles and will continue writing more! Besides working as the Editor-in-Chief, I am a dedicated student at Texas A&M studying Biomedical Sciences. I am also obtaining a minor in both English and Spanish. While not studying diligently, I work in a research lab grinding away, trying to get my name on some research papers (fingers crossed). In my free time, I read, obviously. I am also on the hunt for the best latte to ever bless this earth and love a good game of chess!
