26 What do Non-Feminists say? ? Are you a feminist? I tend to take a neutral approach. Frankly speaking, I am not a feminist, and I do by no means wish to step into this movement. Even though human rights is one of the most basic ideas that I embrace, being an observer is my choice for now. Have you ever realized the differences between men and women? Yes, I have. From the culture I grew up with, I have always been told that women should stay at home while men should be the breadwinner. There’s certainly a lot. Do you agree with gender equality? I do agree. However, I believe that the perfect balance will not likely to happen, meaning that struggle will always be there. Do you think feminism is related with men-hating? I think this kind of radical idea is mostly generated from feminism. I totally understand the cause, but its presence scares me. I think people are afraid to relinquish their status and society. For anti-feminists, they refused to give in their power and they fear the changes feminists might bring. Do you think society needs feminism? If a society demands amelioration, then changes and improvements must be made. Feminism is just one of these efforts.
