"You throw like a girl!" the young boys shout out to other boys alike who throw the ball just short of the target. "You hit like a girl!" "You run like a girl!". That is the ultimate insults for boys, isn 't it? To be compared to a girl. What is so demeaning about doing something like a girl? When did this insult start to carry so much weight in the society of young boys? If you do something like a girl, wouldn 't it mean you are doing it well? As well as anybody else?

The better the idea, the more power it has, the bigger the criticism becomes. That being said, Feminism must be quite the powerful idea because it has a load of critics. The majority of these critics are the ones that have been completely uneducated on what Feminism really is. I 'll say it once and I 'll say it again, Feminism advocates equality. Participants of what would be called Anti-feminism have almost entirely flipped the main goals of Feminism and created their own definition of what it means.
