Feminism and Friends Don't Always Mix

I've held feminist beliefs probably since I was about fourteen but I don't talk about feminism with my uni friends because they just don't care about it and have basically concluded from my beliefs, and my never ending single status, that I must be a man hater.

The funny thing is that I think girls that sympathise with misogny and put down feminism are generally the ones who really spout some hateful things about feminism but I digress.

I love my friends but I want more feminist friends. I want to have more in common with those closest to me and be able to go to more feminist events. I want to be able to discuss different theories without people thinking I'm weird. I want to be able to call out misogyny when I see it without getting called out for I don't know what myself. I want to speak out more and not care what other people say or think.

I'm a calm person so while someone may not agree with me or get angry when I try to tell them the truth I know I wouldn't lose my cool or make a fool out of myself like they usually do.

I guess becoming a feminist is a life long learning curve, I learnt that on The View of all places, and i'm more than willing to stick along for the ride.
