- Real Perspectives from the Women's March in Washington D.C.“I think feminism is about allowing people to be fully realized individuals, regardless of gender. That means educating people about gender disparity and gender stereotypes, both those that negatively impact women – the pay gap, unfair beauty standards, lack of representation in positions of power – and also those that negatively impact men, like warped views of ‘masculinity’ or pressures to be the financial providers for their families. My hope is that as we break down barriers for women, we do the same for men, so that we can all live up to our highest potential. I very proudly wear the label ‘feminist’ and believe that to fully embody that label, I have a responsibility to speak up about gender disparity. If you don’t see the inequality, you can’t fix it.” Liz R., 31, Brooklyn, New York

- Real Perspectives from the March for Life in Washington D.C. - really glad Darling featured both marches and pointed out that we can't keep assuming people who differ from one of our beliefs differ in ALL of our beliefs and are THE OTHER SIDE and the enemy. We need to stop dividing ourselves into strict polarized niches and understand that we are all different and all the same at the same time. We're diverse and we're human.
