My Stance

There's a rather large variety of topics that circulate on my feed, most of which revolve around social justice issues. I take part in educating myself on these particular problems that occur around the world that impact myself, as well as my fellow peers.

I think one of the biggest things that I feel strongly about is feminism, intersectional feminism to be precise. I think one of the biggest misconceptions of feminism is that 'all feminists are against men'/ in support of misandry which is completely untrue. Feminism is fighting for equality among women and men. Intersectional feminism is fighting for equality among both genders, race, religion, as well as sexuality. I just want everyone to be educated on the topic of feminism and what it truly means to be an active feminist. 

I am also really interested in discussing racial discrimination and how it still is (and most likely, always will be) an issue that exists. I think this is a topic that I tend to argue a lot about with people, who majority of the time just don't seem to understand why certain things are racist. Cultural appropriation specifically, is something people just don't seem to grasp.
