I think a big reason many girls shy away from calling themselves feminists is that they’re worried they won’t be able to live up to this idea of a Strong Woman, and that there’s no room in this club for anyone who isn’t 100% comfortable with herself all the time. You can totally be a feminist who has insecurities. Feminism isn’t about pretending we all feel like Wonder Woman, it’s about being honest when we don’t, and having the conversation on why that is.

Ruby: I think a lot shy away from this term too because they’ve been fed this stereotype of a man-hating hairy burly feminazi that surely they wouldn’t want to replicate. I’ve got news for you — those charicatures were created for the exact purpose of turning women away from something that can empower them. Don’t buy it, girls. You can look however you want and interact with men however you want and still be a feminist. That’s actually one of the core tenants of feminism — reclaiming your own body and actions.

You can call me Ruby.

I am not a dietician, personal trainer, or doctor. I am just someone who adopted a healthy lifestyle and lost weight as a result. It took me over a year to lose my weight and I did it in a healthy way. I do not have an eating disorder, nor do I promote any unhealthy behavior.

Please check out the links on my sidebar before asking questions, since you might find your answer there.

I am no longer able to answer every question I receive. Please check my faq, pages, recently asked questions, and google, before asking. And please don't ask me things that can be answered by simply researching online ;p If you'd like to learn more about me, follow my personal blog: http://rvbyred.tumblr.com/
