Hello, my name is Sanita and I am writing a paper about the negative and positive implications of being labeled a feminist. Please send me any information you may have on this topic. Therefore, the labelling should come from the person. That aside, I think that other downside to identifying is that you have to deal with other people's misconceptions about feminism. However, once you eliminate the misconceptions people often realize that they are a feminist, too.
People are likely to support it once they know what it is.
Using it often means both that you are confident about who you are and what you want and also that you acknowledge that though your life may be more just than not, other people's isn't. Therefore, it means that you can empathize in the name of social justice. All rights reserved.
