Love Thyself

I love love love that this tag is trending –  and I think female empowerment is so important. The word feminism has unfortunately come to have negative connotations these days – with criticism of “feminazis” trying to tear down the male race. I won’t deny that there are extremists, but this is the case with almost every major movement; people have different interpretations of the same subject, it’s unavoidable. I believe that the true wish of feminism is to try and focus on bringing hope and determination to women fighting against eras of  institutionalized objectification, injustice, and oppression. So let’s end both boy-on-girl and girl-on-girl hate. Because we should all love ourselves as much as Tina Belcher does.
