Definition of Feminism:
1. The theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
2. Organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests
Here at The Wild Woman Project, We are Feminists.
Feminism is the belief that people of all genders deserve equal rights.
We hope this was obvious, but just in case it wasn’t, we are taking out the guess work.
Unfortunately, some people have a misunderstanding of what Feminism means. If you are looking for resources to further your Feminist Studies or are not quite sure you understand Feminism, we made this page for you.
These are a few of our favorite resources, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. We hope these resources act as a springboard for you to launch your own studies, understanding, and relationship with Feminism.
“All too often, when we see injustices, both great and small, we think, That’s terrible, but we do nothing. We say nothing. We let other people fight their own battles. We remain silent because silence is easier. Qui tacet consentire videtur is Latin for ‘Silence gives consent.’ When we say nothing, when we do nothing, we are consenting to these trespasses against us.”
~Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist

I’m a feminist. I’ve been a female for a long time now. It’d be stupid not to be on my own side.
I think every woman in our culture is a feminist. They may refuse to articulate it, but if you were to take any woman back 40 years and say ‘is this the world you want to live in?’ they would say ‘no’.
God may be in the details, but the goddess is in the questions. Once we begin to ask them, there’s no turning back.
