Many of you asked what it means to be a feminist. A feminist is someone who supports equal rights for women. This means that you would treat a woman just as you would treat yourself. You show her equal respect, love, and care. In the Hispanic culture it is common for young boys to be told to be "the Man". The modern day man, and a true man is not only able to provide but, he does not seek to control or manipulate the women around him. Instead, he fosters their growth and encourages them to grow in positive ways. Young men have the responsibility of speaking to women with respect. This means, you don't call women names or view them as a second class citizen. They are your equal in everything you do. It is your responsibility as a young man to be careful of the women around you. Not only to protect their bodies but, also their hearts and their minds. We all have feelings and if you hold an important place in a woman's heart, you have the responsibility to use your influence for a positive thing.
