The article Feminism: A Movement To End Sexist Oppression really spoke to me.  I found it interesting to read about the different ways people perceive feminism.  Before reading this article I myself had vey little knowledge about feminism, just the perception that woman want the same equal rights that men have. I now know that some people see it as a lifestyle instead of just a choice to believe in. It is difficult to create a set definition for the word because many people have defined the word in their own way. 

Many people are embarrassed and uncomfortable with being associated with Feminism.

There are many personal and political stigmas that are attached to this concept. Some people see Feminism as a racist movement in the white woman's right's movement and other people have homophobic views that they will be associated with being a lesbian. I believe some people are against feminism or scared of it because they don't want to be considered a political radical.  I am all for woman's rights but I don't think I could embrace feminism as a lifestyle to the extreme.

Although this article wasn't about music, I like the idea of relating the two. Feminism does play a role in music. Now a days more woman are playing their own music and singing about topics you'd expect to come from men. Female singers such as Jenifer Lopez and Beyoncé are in huge support of woman power and embracing their sexuality.
