主页 > Can I be a feminist and still be a "girly" girl?

Zahra
asks:
I am a teen girl/woman, and I want to be feminist. The problem is that it kind of seems like I'm not *feminist* enough to be feminist. I have long hair, wear dresses and skirts occasionally, and love makeup. It's not like I'm trying to please men or anything, or that I'm trying to wear clothes that "inhibit mobility," it's just something I like. It kind of seems like feminist people have cool, short hairstyles, and never wear makeup. And I think it's really brave of them to do that, and it's cool, but I just don't seem like that kind of person. Do I have to actively be *against* stereotypes, or can I just not be *for* them? As a girl/woman, feminism and sexism do affect me directly, and I want that to change, but at the same time, I want to stay a bit of a "girly" girl.
