I know books and dictionaries could give you the perfect definition, but I'm going to give you mine and I would like to know what it means to you. Isn't this what this class is about? Isn't that what a feminist wants? Equality! One word. Why is it so hard to get?

Equality... Such a powerful word right? It sounds powerful. But the actions taken to follow through with what the word really means...Not so much.

We have been fighing for equality for centuries. But when will we see an improvement? What is it going to take?

To me; equality means rights. It means fairness. It means no more discrimmination. No more standards, and no more expectations. Equality  should mean that a women should not have to feel like people are going to give her dirty looks or snarl at her if she doesn't want to wear make-up and designer clothes. Guys don't have to wear make-up to cover their acne and imperfections. They would probably get looks if they did wear it. So why should we wear it?!

WHO CARES?!? I guess in my mind equality basically means freedom for everyone to be comfortable and free; in their own skin.
