Opportunity will not be handed out, though. Feminists must fight to attain opportunities to display that their effort can, and will, pay off. In a New York Times interview with Ruth Whitney, editor of Glamour, another issue of government intervention with regards to feminism is raised. Whitney published an article pertaining to venereal disease and included in the article genuine accounts of women who had contracted the disease. The government should be doing more to promote awareness of the disease.
Education is the key to less prejudice.
Educating people of personal health problems, which are generally not discussed in our hush-hush society, is a great way to obtain understanding. That is not the case. People are often afraid that if they get involved in the feminist movement, then they will be in close proximity with the lesbian population. There are so many stereotypes that must be broken. Not all feminists are lesbians and not all feminists are troublemakers.
