One of the most talked issues of last year dealt with the “F” word…. also known as feminist.  From Emma Watson to Beyonce, although the feminist movement has been around since the early 19th century, this “scary” word has recently been brought up all over mainstream media. With that being said, here are some memes on what feminism is all about and why we need to embrace the word. 

Feminists don’t “hate men”; we just want equal rights for all!

Ladies, there is no such thing as the “friendzone”. If you don’t like the guy, or girl, you simply just don’t like them and there is nothing wrong with that. 

As you can see, feminism is extremely important and much needed. Our generation is capable of making the changes society needs to make the world a better place. If you’re still not sure on what feminism exactly entails, come by to the San Gabriel Room, 3rd Floor, University-Student Union on Tuesday, January 20th at 2:30pm to join the Gender & Sexuality Resource Center in exploring feminism in today’s society and pop culture, including the misconceptions of what feminism represents, and the true meaning of feminism because this may happen to you:

Christine Tran

Cal State LA

After taking four different MBTI tests, Christine is the definition of someone who is half ENFJ and ESFP (she got two for each type). With that being said, this clearly explains her major in Communications at Cal State LA. With a love for fashion and music, she's the type of person who will post #ootds and pictures of every concert she's at on her Instagram. Along with that, Christine has a horrible addiction with cupcakes and tattoos which will eventually be the death of her unless her parents figure out she already has more than one tattoo first.... Find out what she's up to by following her Instagram @christineetran
