And That Means That, Not Only Do You Believe In It Kind Of In The Abstract But You Actively Think People Should Seek It When It Comes To The Way You Hire People, The Way You Compensate People, The Way You Treat Women And Men In Professional Settings And School, Whatever The Case, Giving Them Equal Opportunities Without Disadvantaging Them Because Of Their, For The Fact That They're Women. And To Me That's What It Means For Me To Be A Feminist. I Don't Think It's That Controversial.
