Asking the "why" behind you being a feminist. I lean on that side because my dad ditched his wife of 6 years, 5 year old daughter and 1 year old daughter (me) and never came back. Was wondering if bad experiences from men is why other women are feminist.

Ĵunỉþ€я♀: Would you say your husband is in a way a feminist then?

No, and the reason I am a feminist is that my parents told me I could be and do anything I wanted with my life. And then I went to college and found many limitations. I then became active in making sure the scenario my parents wanted for me was reality.

No. My parents just celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary. My parents both worked very hard, which is why I have nontraditional views of men and women. My father's shift was evening, so he sometimes took us to school and was home when we got home from school.
My fiance is also a feminist-his parents are still together.
I think that I became a feminist partly because of my mother. She always told me to work hard and not let my gender hold me back from doing anything I wanted to do.

I'm a feminist, and my parents have been happily married for 40 years. I don't think my parents had anything to do with my feminism. More like it was a realization that there is severe gender inequality in this world that can't be ignored.

I am a feminist. I was raised by both parents. My childhood was wonderful. My parents are still happily married.

Nope. I'm of a traditional married family and watched my mom go batty from being stuck in the house with kids and not having a job for years and years. My dad worked full time.

No, I was raised by two parents. The "why" behind my feminism has nothing to do with my upbringing, except for the fact that I was always encouraged to read.

No, my parents were married. My husband was raised by a single mom, though. It really changed his viewpoint of what a real man is and does - a real man takes care of his children. He saw how hard it was for her without his dad around.

No, I was raised in a two-parent household. I didn't "become" a feminist; I have always been one because that's the only way that made and makes any sense to me.

yes i never had a dad. And my mom made sure that i knew that he was a pig by reminding me. If i had lived with my dad i would have been extremely miserable, I'm glad he was out of the picture.
He lives now with his wife and other sons and daughters.

I was raised by married parents. My mom and dad were both great.
