I ask because I was thinking of how I went from a "one of the guys" type of girl to a full blown "bring down the patriarchy" type of woman. It wasn't one thing, it was many. Only through reflection and carefully putting the pieces together did I realize feminism was everything I had been feeling about my anger and frustration at inequality, and my need to make the world better for the people around me, but especially my neices.

So when did you realize you were a feminist?

I never did, my mind was blown when I was old enough to comprehend that misogyny was a thing and women were still fighting for equality. My mum was always a very strong woman, didn't adhere to traditional gender roles, took no shit from men etc. So really I've not ever changed my position.
