1. do the author's survey results indicate that feminist is, by and large, a dirty word for her fellow students? what in the essay makes you agree or disagree?
-yes because they agree with what a feminist is but do not say or consider themselves feminists. like for example we know what bad words are or what certain ones mean, and we might use them in certain situations, but there are situationa where you don't say bad words and you don't use them.
2. what reasons does libby offer why there are not more self-identified feminists?
-she asks some boys why they aren't feminist and they responded that feminists are only for girls and that that wasn't their place to be. or others don't consider themselves feminists because they agree with it but do not do anything to support it, so they feel its inappropriate to identify themselves like that. also, they call themselves feminists because they don't think these problems still exist anymore.
3. why does she think more people should identify themselves as feminists?
-becuase feminisms is not just for females, but for both female and males.
