feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
Catholic Schoolgirl turned Feminist
I grew up in Ecuador. It may not be the first country that comes to people’s minds when they think of South America. I went to a Catholic school where I was taught by people who believed it was best to keep educating yourself when it comes to academics, but not so much when it comes to being open-minded and less judgmental of people who were “different”.

Narcofeminism, a movement to join right now
When Olą Belyaeva was in her twenties, a doctor told her parents that he wanted to cut open her head and freeze part of the brain — the area responsible for satisfaction. Because the doctor blamed a defect of this area for Belyaeva repeatedly doing something that is severely condemned in her home Ukraine: Taking drugs.

My Stance On Feminism
I'll be honest, and you can laugh or judge. But I never really knew what feminism was, and I'm a woman. I see the term used for how people identify and I was casual to it. I used my context clues to know it was someone that was apart of a movement to have rights for women. I knew of it, but I never really talked about feminism, nor explored the topic with a lot of my friends.

Slavery And The Death Of George Floyd.
Slave is one of the words I do not use often, one of the words I use most of the time only in history class or history context. I woke up this morning and realize it is more than that. Let us start with women. In the article “Validation of the Profile of Female Sexual Function (PFSF) in Surgically and Naturally Menopausal Women” women lose the desire for sexual pleasure after undergoing menopause (Leonard Derogates, 2004). Sexual pleasure is important to men; therefore, women own the power not only by controlling our sexual desire, but we give birth. I recall when I was a child growing up, I often heard stories about women being abused physically, mentally, and emotionally, by their husband and yet remain in that relationship. I have not only heard I have witnessed it. I have witnessed women getting abused as a child, and most of the time settle for men that they did not want while they were still married to these men. I want us, women, you, me, and humanity to take a step back and examine men in our lives and use the death of George Floyd as a wake-up call. A wake-up call to take back your power back as a black man and use it in the right place. What I mean by that is instead of using it to abuse women because of your physical strength, use your power to bring freedom back to African American Community.

Twenty-Something
It’s far too easy to assume that I would be just another twenty-something with a chip on my shoulder. But, you see, you would be right to assume that. Obviously, the world has ‘done me wrong’ and all that stuff that millennials say all the time. It doesn’t help us (by the way).
