“Why Aren’t You A Feminist?”
Sometimes when we say the word “feminism,” people hear “white feminism,” and white feminism has been historically non-inclusive to many intersectional concerns, including those of race, sexual orientation and religion. Someone might not identify as “feminist” because they feel marginalized by one very specific, often dominant, iteration of feminism. That doesnt mean they dont believe in womens rights, so its important to identity why someone doesnt identify as feminist before you jump down their throat. Unless this person is Donald Trump, try to get to the root of what they mean when theyre say theyre “not a feminist”. You might find that you learn something about your personal feminism in the meantime.
“Do You Think That Both Genders Are Entitled To The Same Social, Economic And Political Rights?”
There arent many people out there who would say “no,” and I wouldnt blame you if you got a little bit angry if someone did. But you should establish with the person youre talking to their position on equality. They might believe in gender equality, but have issues with feminism as a philosophy. You certainly dont want to be forcing your way into a fight with someone who has the same core belief in equality as you, so establish that youre on the same page. If youre not, you might have someone with some very backwards beliefs on your hands, in which case, your further line of questioning should continue to challenge them.
“What Does ‘Feminism’ Mean To You?”
Engaging in a meaningful conversation about someones personal “feminism” (whether they call it feminism or not), is important. You expect people to listen to you, and your interpretation of feminism, so you should be not only prepared, but willing to listen and encouraging of other people expressing theirs. Finding out why someone doesnt identify with your feminism can be really valuable, insofar as you grappling with feminism in a more inclusive way. (Im not saying youre not already inclusive, just that no one can experience what anyone else has experienced, and being open to conversations about different perspectives and stories will make you a more dynamic person).
