The table was almost unanimous accordingly feminism It simply means equality between gender. After sharing her definition, co -organizer Sara Haines suggested that Gaynor was actually a feminist.
“Because I think the feminist movement has changed over the decades, about who the icons are, what the point and mission is,” Haines said. “But ultimately, feminism is just equality for women to have the same options. So, I think she is a really deep feminist.”
Haines and her co -organizers continued to try and define a little dividing the expression. The usual misconception, Haines said, is that “feminism means you hate men.”
“They don’t have to be zero problems,” she continued. “Having equality for women doesn’t do anything for men.”
