Out author/publisher Jennifer Baumgartner talked with Yahoo about why the teenage girl whose shirt reading FEMINIST was censored in her high school class photo.
“People used to think that it meant something queer, like associating with being a lesbian. Now it’s possibly associated for some with abortion. I’m not sure exactly why it’s so polarizing, but it’s not surprising to me that something labeled ‘feminist,’ is threatening. What it represents, on the deepest level, is the fact that women have all this power to make or not make life. For girls and women it can be hard to make friends with that power.”
But this girl was like I’M ALL IN, FEMINISM. DAMN THE MAN.
