SMH 2015 – Annabel Crabb: I’m proud to be a feminist despite my regular lapses
From time to time I find articles that express the sentiments in my community, or that answer some of the questions my readers are asking. Here are the links to the source.
Thanks to Sydney Morning Herald, MARCH 7 2015 and Annabel Crabb for this gem.
I’M PROUD TO BE A FEMINIST DESPITE MY REGULAR LAPSES
“FEMINISM IS MESSY AND IMPERFECT, AND HAS PEOPLE YOU LOVE, AS WELL AS PEOPLE YOU CAN’T STAND.
I am a feminist because to be one seems perfectly obvious and reasonable to me. I am a feminist because it bothers me that women are more than 50 per cent of the population and more than 60 per cent of university graduates but somehow only 3 per cent of chief executives. I am a feminist because it bothers me that a woman gets killed by her male partner every single week, and somehow that doesn’t qualify as a tools-down national crisis even though if a man got killed by a shark every week we’d probably arrange to have the ocean drained. I am a feminist because it bugs me that “working mum” is a phrase I hear every day but I never hear “working dad”.”
