Facebook is fraught with ways to avoid doing homework. Rather than aimlessly "liking" photos and status updates I found a large forum of thought in the This is what a Feminist Looks Like group.
Sifting through the differing opinions of feminism and I came across http://www.iamthatgirl.com/#/About_Us/.
The Bellist movement is one I am not at all familiar with. It seems to be centered around the idea of beauty and passion.
"We work hard, play hard and are unapologetic about looking good while doing both." The idea seems nice, but I am not sold. Why should it matter if you can change the world AND look good? Why not just do big things and not dwell on being pretty? Or on another note, if looking good is so important; why not just be beautiful?
Feminists for Life (www.feministsforlife.org) was also mentioned but did not receive rave reviews all around. It is the belief of some that being Christian and a feminist is impossible. I couldn't disagree more.
It is interesting to see the diversity of thought brought on by the word "feminism". The word seems like a sure way to begin a heated discussion.
