Conversation 4 by Luis Carreon

based on the text that I read “we should all be feminists” by Ngozi Adichie, I’ve learn quite a few things from the word feminism. It’s a term that could mean many things, but it’s mainly when a person believes in woman’s rights, in a way that woman should have the same rights as men, or at least in some parts such as equal pay or equal power. I’m in the middle when it comes to deciding whether I should call myself a feminist, respectfully of course, if both genders have the same high paying job then of course they should have equal pay it’s the same job, but it ultimately matters in what POSITION you have in a job. And it’s not really about the persons gender, but in the persons actions or changes, it matters on what ideas you have, how smart or creative that person is. Adichie gives off her own meaning of feminism as a way for women to express themselves as humans with men. On page 5 on the text it states “each time I walk into a Nigerian restaurant with a man, the waiter greets the man and ignores me” then states later on saying “each time they ignore me, I feel invisible, I feel upset, I want to tell them that I’m just as worthy of acknowledgment, that I’m just as human as the man”. And it makes perfect sense since most women deal or have to deal with situations such as these. The text gives so many examples of discrimination and it make people think more deeply about how feminism can really affect women mentally.
