Not a Feminist?

During the last week of our grand adventure through 4 states, Tania and I had the privilege of visiting Eastern Kentucky University. While meeting with the Director of the Women's Studies Program there, we saw these fantastic posters and wanted to share.

Many groups we work with tell us that they spend a good portion of their energy DEFINING feminism so as to keep expanding their membership and gaining more of a reputation on campus. This is so common, and so critical, I thought I'd share these gems!

The posters that the WS program at EKU came up with are brilliant in their simplicity - a mere checklist of feminist issues that most people would be hard-pressed to say no to.





While there are lots of events you could do around the subject of "What is Feminism?" (panel discussions, film screenings, social events, and more), flyers like these could help you to advertise such an event or stand alone as a constant reminder for folks walking by.

Do you all find yourselves having to "debunk feminism?" What strategies do you use? We'd love to hear what you have to say in the comments below. :)
