Feminist
Continued from page 1A
“It isn’t really a different
issue for the third wave, but
how the issues impact us is dif
ferent,” Baumgardner said.
Richards said some of the
main questions concerning
feminism and feminists today
are: Can men be feminists?
Can you be religious and be a
feminist? Does a feminist have
to have an opinion on abortion?
“Historically feminists’
relationships with men is on
the outside,” Richards said.
“Women- only space got inter
preted as anti-man space. We
want men to be our allies in
this movement.”
Scott Talafuse, a senior
genetics major, attended the
speech because, after living in
San Francisco where issues and
movements such as this are
active, he realized he never
paid attention to them.
“I came wondering if I
could be a guy and be a femi
nist,” Talafuse said. “I am wor
ried it would be intrusive.”
As far as religion goes,
many feminists used to worry
that they had to divorce them
selves from their religion. This
is no longer true, Richards said.
As for being feminist and being
pro-life, one can be that too.
“Feminism isn’t about
preaching one thing, but figuring
it out,” Richards said. “You can
be yourself and be a feminist.”
Baumgardner and Richards
encouraged the audience not to
let other people define their
feminism or make them seem
powerless.
“The main reason people
don’t consider themselves
activists is because they think
they are powerless,”
Baumgardner said.
Students in the crowd
voiced concerns about being
feminist on such a conservative
campus.
“Just that you could have
this many people show up to
this shows that you aren't real
ly a conservative campus,”
Richards said. “You are not as
alone as you might think.”
To bring feminist issues to
light on campus, Baumgardner
suggests focusing on issues
that are related to students’
lives such as birth control.
"We must focus on issues
that do not alienate us,”
Baumgardner said.
Texas A&M’s Women's
Center invited Baumgardner
and Richards to come speak.
“We brought them here because
they are good at connecting
with college campuses,” said
Brenda Bethman, director of
the Women’s Center.
“You can indeed not be a
man-hater and be a feminist,"
Bethman said. “On our campus
there is a small organized
movement. A lot of women on
this campus do agree with fem
inism and are thankful for the
movement because it let them
(women) come here."
Mabel Cortina, Class of
2003. said she felt completely
repressed at A&M until she
discovered the Women's
Center and the Women’s
Studies Program.
“We’ve all benefited so
much from it (feminism),”
Cortina said. “And it is our
responsibility to carry it on.”
