I think that womens reproductive rights are a really important issue

# data[].attributes.body
I think abortion should be something often discussed, and it deserves the attention it got, however there are many other topics that do deserve to be talked about just as much.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important to be discussed since it’s been a topic that’s been somewhat hidden for so long. I also think that sex-trafficking should also be a very important topic.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think abortion is a really pressing issue since it has to do with the basic right of women being able to do what they want with their body.

# data[].attributes.body
Totally because its been pushed under the table for such a long time and i think brining a lot of media and attention to it shows society how big of an issie this is and has been for so long.

# data[].attributes.body
This topic is high on the importance list and I do think it should be widely covered by various outlets.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is quite important,and we should talk about it more

# data[].attributes.body
There are a TON of equally pressing issues. I think this topic is too often used as a hot-button to discredit feminism in general.

# data[].attributes.body
I actually do agree ! I think the misinformation about women’s reproductive rights and female sexuality are two areas that we have made the least progress in

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly don't thing that "feminist" topics should be limited. While it's true that newspapers and blogs that are devoted to feminist issues should probably talk about a variety of things (especially intenrational efforts), mainstream news should have a place for more women's issues, IN ADDITION to reproductive rights. (sorry that was preachy)

# data[].attributes.body
I think this one is really pressing because it lies on the idea of women not being able to make decisions on their own bodies. I feel like if this big issue is addressed, it'll open the door for more action to be taken on other pressing issues too.

# data[].attributes.body
i just think it's so annoying that men who literally know next to nothing about pregnancy are deciding this shit for us - you want us to just think we're late on our period and then "shit a baby just popped out?" like i've been months late on my period before wtf

# data[].attributes.body
I think the rates of sexual assault in the US are more pressing

# data[].attributes.body
Although all women’s issues should be equally as important, I think it is food that reproductive rights are getting extra spotlight bc these rights could impact our whole lives; not to mention that if we don’t have body autonomy we literally won’t have control over our body

# data[].attributes.body
Absolutely because like we talked about tampon tax so I believe that this should be covered mainly as one of the more important topics in the feminist movement.

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe this is very pressing because it endangers the lives of many and is important to discuss however, there are many others that are equally or close to as important such as domestic violence, sex trafficking and more.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that women's right as abortion ARE important, but human trafficking and women's human rights violations abroad should also be spotlighted

The election and the #metoo movement

# data[].attributes.body
The #metoo movement is important to me because harassment and assault happens way too often and rarely get reported, and even the cases that do get reported are often dismissed.

(Okay, so books are central to my life so this shouldn't be surprising) But I would say a recent even that is central is JK Rowling's transphobic comments that she said in the name of feminism because while it was very harmful, many feminists spoke out. It really helped elevate the idea that if your feminism isn't inclusive, it isn't right.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the BLM and other human rights campaigns have been very impactful on the feminist movement because they are all protesting for rights, plus a central part of feminism is standing up and uplifting others that otherwise don’t have a voice

Tampon Tax ! It shouldn’t be taxed as a luxury, and it’s revealing a lot of about the misinformation about periods

I am quite new to this topic however I do know an actress I follow Miranda Ray Mayo who supports feminism a lot and she kind of inspired me to look more into this topic. However I am very excited to learn more about this topic.

# data[].attributes.body
Malala Yousafzai because she fights for women’s education. There’s 62 million girls worldwide that are denied education.

simone de beauvoir - she was so essential in the second wave of feminism and her philosophies were so important to feminism

# data[].attributes.body
Susan B, Anthony

# data[].attributes.body
I think AOC is a really central part to the feminist movement at this time because she’s a strong politician who’s a great representative of powerful women in society.

# data[].attributes.body
Emma Watson, because she is so famous, and her words on feminism spread so far

# data[].attributes.body
Body positivity

# data[].attributes.body
Emma Watson because she connects to young people and inspires them to join the movement

# data[].attributes.body
I have a really hard time identifying with historical feminists because many had regressive policies towards POC, but I absolutely adore AOC (2036???)

# data[].attributes.body
I saw the post on shs clubs and I’ve been interested in feminism/activism for a while and figured this is a great way to get involved

Body positivity surrounding social media and today’s culture is super important to me because I feel like it’s something that’s relevant in all of our lives whether or not we notice it.

# data[].attributes.body
body positivity, reproductive rights and women in the workforce

Politics and the language used to debase women. AOC's speech a few weeks ago is a MUST SEE. She NAILED it.

Women are blamed as a distraction if they dress in a revealing way. But men aren’t? A dude can walk around shirtless but a woman can’t even walk around in a tank top. The unfairness is where my fight or flight is activated.

# data[].attributes.body
Definitely body positivity I have gone through a lot in my life of being bullied about being to muscular or to fat or even to skinny. I have also been bullied about being visually impaired. Either way body positivity and bullying are very dear to my heart because of what social media does to kids now days. In conclusion I believe that thanks to social media and today's world body positivity is extremely important to me.

I wanted to join because I feel that there should be more women leadership in society.

It looked interesting and I identify as a feminist.

I started Feminism Club 4 years ago when 2 young women approached me about it. I was immediately on board! I've been a feminist my entire life but didn't really know it until graduate school lol. My area of concentration was feminist theory, Victorian literature, and scientific systems of belief.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to join the club because growing up I was told who I was supposed to be and how to feel based off of being a girl. I didn’t like that, so the concept of feminism really intrigued me. Also Sophie told me about it.

# data[].attributes.body
My friend convinced me to join last year.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to join because I want to learn more about feminism

# data[].attributes.body
Idk man. I just think women deserve better than they get. I think I also joined to learn more about feminism

# data[].attributes.body
I thought Mrs.Maxwell was cool and I wanted to learn more about feminism as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
In my life there was always a difference in how girls should behave and how guys should behave, and I feel like this really influenced me into not voicing my opinions and staying quiet. This obviously frustrated me the older I got. I joined this club because I was to learn more about feminist movements, and I want to learn how to be more vocal with my opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
My old English teacher made me want to join feminism club after last year I used to spend all my free periods talking to her and I turned into a really big feminist.

# data[].attributes.body
I initially joined the club because I saw the morning announcement ad and just wanted something to be part of, but I keep coming every year because of all the other members that make the club great! (And I also like doing anything I can to help the community!)

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve always been a feminist because of my mom. When I saw there was a feminism club, I decided to join.

# data[].attributes.body
when we were sophomores, jenny was talking about a presentation she did and i had a free day + identified as a raging feminist so i wanted to check it out!

# data[].attributes.body
I joined because I have experienced and seen lots of gender inequality in the sports I have played and also my day to day life. I think it is very important to fight for what you believe in so this club gives me an outlet for that.

# data[].attributes.body
I joined Feminism Club freshman year because I was always really into women’s rights, but was consistently shot down from talking about it, so I joined this club as an outlet

# data[].attributes.body
I came to a few meetings during sophomore year and had a lot of fun/learned a lot and I’ve been coming regularly since last year
