What is Feminism? Let's Ask Farrah Abraham!

Farrah Abraham doesn't know what Feminism is, so I thought I'd help a sister out - 'cause that's what we "F.e.m.i.n.i.s.t.s" do for one other - and, to be honest, I too was once as ignorant as she. By that I mean, I didn't know who Farrah Abraham was until 48 hours ago, I know, I can't believe I was so uneducated either. So now that I have learned who she is from her ignorance of feminism, I thought I'd give her a hand and give  her, and any other Teen Mom stars out there, the low down on this whole feminism malarkey.

So what's the deal with Farrah you ask? Well, for those of you that don't spend too much time on the internet like me, Farrah Abraham (22 year old ex-star of the MTV reality TV show Teen Mom,  current star of some porno with some porn dude) was recently interviewed by Miami New Times. In this oh so deep, thought provoking interview she was asked if she considered herself a feminist. The following is a transcript of the interview from the M.N.T. blog.

Miami New Times: Do you consider yourself a feminist?

Farrah Abraham: I'm pretty feminine. I think so. (awww, sweetheart)

MNT: Not feminine, feminist.

Farrah Abraham: What does that mean, you're a lesbian or something? (yes Farrah, that's exactly what it means)

MNT: No, that's not what I'm asking at all.

Farrah Abraham: What context are you saying it in? (context; bless your big words)

MNT: It's a complicated concept, but I guess at its most basic, it means that women are equal to men.

Farrah Abraham: Oh, I definitely feel that women are equal to men. No doubt about that. I mean women should have equal rights to men, every day. (.....riiiiiight, I don't know what to say)

I personally think that Farrah has the ability to be the next big feminist icon, I mean, as she goes on to say in this interview she is 'working on building [her] empire.' she's obviously a business woman and she believes that women should have equal rights to men EVERY day, not just some days but EVERY day. That's a true feminist right there folks. She's also a stern advocate of healthy eating which is obvious from the below picture.

Farrah - Get your Five a Day

So Farrah, what is feminism? Well maybe I'll tell you what it's not and then you can try and figure the rest out for yourself. Feminism is nothing to do with one's sexual orientation; a feminist can be gay, straight, bi-sexual whatever the fuck they want. Feminism is not limited to women. Feminists can be male, female, dog or cat. As long as we're all here for the gender equality then it's all good. 


Someone needs to get Farrah a copy of ManifestA - but maybe Feminism for Dummies would be more appropriate. We're not hating on Farrah - we all had to start somewhere. I predict that down the road in the not too distant future that Farrah Abraham could be the next Gloria Steinem or Naomi Wolf ... anything is possible.
