Straddle your Feminism 12 years ago
Hey…I’ve recently realized that as a feminist and a person who’s seen a lot of effed up things happen to women that I do suffer from a bit of anger/rage; even though if you met me you’d say I’m a happy-go-lucky person.
I had a question for my fellow feminists. For those of you that this applies too; how did you go from angry feminists to happy-go-lucky feminists? How did you heal the wounds/anger/rage within?
To be honest, I don’t know too many happy-go-lucky feminists. I feel that myself as a whole is generally pretty happy and chill but the feminist part of me is just about always seething with rage. And I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. Without rage, would we have any impetus to try and change things?
So try to embrace the rage. It’s how I get along.
Hmm…embrace the rage. Yeah. I’ll try lol.
I think the anger is what drives me, most of the times. And I don’t think that necessarily has to be a bad thing, especially not when you’re able to turn it into some kind of activism and don’t just go around raging all willy-nilly (even though I enjoy taking the right to do that from time to time also..) .
