3 ways to be a better feminist in 2016

It is really hard to be a feminist nowadays because people dump the actual definition of the word feminism in the trash, but this are 4 ways to overcome this difficulties and become a better feminist in 2016.

1. Speak up

Most of the discussions are solved by conversation and arguments. So if we want to stand up for our rights we shall speak up. If we want all our issues to be solved we have to have conversations with people and solve our problems. They have this rule that women belong at home and man at work but this is wrong and we have to prove them right. With this phrasal verb we can open ourselves to criticism and hear other people's concerns. A good listener is the one who has his mind refreshed and are opened to all types of complains. Our society will not change if we don’t speak up. Your voice manners. It doesn’t matter how, but us humans have to communicate and stand up for our rights.

2.  Read

A good thing about feminism is that personal experience is really common and is happening in real life and that makes it more interesting.  Reading and listening other people's experience in reality  makes you a better feminist and a better human. If you don’t know how to use your knowledge you are nothing. For example, you could be Stephen Hawking but you don’t know how to use your knowledge you can’t do nothing, you are not going to discover nothing. So to have more knowledge you have to read, read and read.

3. Try not to overvalue celebrities opinion in feminism

Sometimes people overvalue celebrities opinions and put them as the best opinion and the right opinion. Some examples of  powerful celebrities who are a feminist are Emma Watson, Beyónce, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift and much more. These famous people defend the idea of feminism and bring up the truth and make more movements that help woman. But we have to remember that not only their opinion matters. We have to hear other people's realities and that makes us better feminists. Our feminist wall should have more bricks like for example, experience and knowledge.
