Irish Teacher: Feminism is for everyone — regardless of gender, sexuality, race, or creed

True feminism, the non-dirty kind, is a coming together, not a tearing apart

'Feminism is about equality. It is often intersectional. It does not pit women against men.'

When I discuss feminism with my students, I stress that feminism is for everyone. It is a social and political ideology intended for all human beings. Feminism is about equality, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, or creed.

I go on to explain that this fight for equality is blighted by male violence. I explain that male violence is also a problem for men, who are attacked by other violent men. But more so for women.
