There are probably just a handful of words in the English language that evoke as much emotion as the word ‘feminism’. These days, it is a sure-shot way to pick up a heated discussion. But what does it mean to be a feminist? Well, to put it simply, it means you believe women and men have equal rights and opportunities. Period.
As conversations around feminism and MeToo are stirring up again, following the latest accusations against Homegrown’s CEO Varun Patra, it is important to address these issues, again.
One thing the third-wave feminists are excellent at is cracking a good joke. Thanks to the wonderful world online we have memes to explain feminism to those still scratching their heads when the conversation is rolled out. Here are 15 feminist memes that will make the staunchest of feminist haters say “Ohh, I get it now”.
