feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
Area 51 for Males
After almost always having thought of myself as a girly girl, I found it strange how I could never relate to any of the topics when some individual randomly allowed me into this private Facebook group full of women. At first I thought it a brilliant idea, we can exchange knowledge about the struggles of being women and we can give advice.

So Emma Stone we know; huge eyes, redhead more often than not, extremely open about her own anxiety, and her characteristic goofiness.
Maura DudasPublished 6 years ago in VivaIt's Okay to Be Feminine
Being feminine is something of a lost art, a lost form of being a woman and being wholesome. A lost form of being shy and using your feminine side to navigate this world.

Women earn 80 cents for every man’s $1.00. This is still true in 2018. We are 200 years away from pay equality here. When women start complaining more about the pay gap is when we find that it can equalize. This is constant discrimination that women face daily in the workplace. When I started working, I became very aware of this discriminatory process. Pay disparity is everywhere around us, dependent on what career a person is working in. Women like E! News host Cat Sadler are becoming more aware of this gap every day because she left the network due to a pay gap she noticed between herself and her male co-host.

Kelsey LangePublished 6 years ago in VivaSaying Goodbye to Toxic Femininity
We need to talk about toxic femininity. It’s something that doesn’t get enough screen time when it comes to our conversation about personal relationships. We talk about toxic masculinity and the ways in which the patriarchy negatively impacts men and their interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships, we talk about how the patriarchy interferes with our romantic relationships, and we talk about how the patriarchy governs our careers. What we’re not talking about though is toxic femininity and how a male-dominated society has taught women to compete with each other.

In the movie The Breakfast Club, there is a quote that a friend told me about before I even saw the movie. The quote is said by Allison (the basket case) .
Changing Perspective
We all see the statistics of how many women report being raped, assaulted, and harassed each year. But what we fail to recognize in this verbiage is that for every one woman who got assaulted, there's a (statistically speaking) man COMMITTING assault.

Here's some numbers: 12: my age the first time a grown man who I didn't even know made a lewd comment towards me. 13: my age the first time another strange man yelled at me to give him a blowjob.
Sarah CookPublished 6 years ago in VivaConservative Feminism
Feminism. The first thoughts that come to mind are feminazi, man-hater, the women's march, abortion, the anti-Trump movement etc. Those are all stereotypes. Of course, for the majority that identifies as feminists, that’s reality. I want to break the stereotypes and misconceptions that feminism is exclusively appointed to liberal ideals.
Anne WestmorelandPublished 6 years ago in VivaMy Surprising First Experience in a Strip Club
So last night, I went to a strip club for the first time. And it was great. Not the response you'd expect from someone who opposes the sexual objectification and exploitation of women. But I am about to explain to you how I, a woman in her early twenties, experienced the strip club as a safe, enjoyable and empowering place.
