I Never Went To College And I Was Raised In Arkansas So There Wasn't A Lot Of Academic Language Being Thrown Around My House. We Weren't Idiots, But I Didn't Have That Access To Academic Feminism. I Had To Realize, On My Own, That Feminism Is Not Just About How Far Ahead You Can Get In A Job And It Isn't About Not Wearing Makeup. It Isn't About Not Watching Your Waistline. I Had To Recreate The World Entirely.
