"You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present." -John Green

Sh*t people say to feminists
A few weeks ago, a video went viral called "Shit girls say," which resulted in a lot of spin-offs of the same idea. It ended up turned into "Shit ____ say to ____ ," the most popular of which was "Shit white girls say to black girls." A lot of these are really well done - they point out offensive things said to minority groups all the time that many do not even realize are offensive.
The word "feminist" for some reason tends to create surprisingly strong responses. If I tell people "Oh, I'm a feminist," a lot of people basically judge me even if I haven't said anything else, or they don't even know me. The responses in this video are actually so incredibly common, I have heard almost all of them. Feminists probably aren't what you think - I encourage people to find out things for themselves and look past common misconceptions!
