The new owners made us feel like our feminism wouldn’t sell. The word feminism alone is too often equated with women who hate men and carry around their soapbox just waiting to pounce and shove their views down someone else’s throat. There are still a lot of people who blatantly throw around the word feminazi (you can thank Rush Limbaugh for that one), as if feminism is a bad thing. But anyone who dares to say that we don’t need feminism is either ignorant or just doesn’t care. We still live in a society where men make more than women. We still live in a world where women are treated like property, where someone like 15-year-old education advocate Malala Yousafzai, is targeted for being a feminist. Everyday we see proof that feminism is essential in the success of our species, and feminist sites can be successful.
