I'm a frontend developer who is passionate about a11y. My goal is to inspire others to create inclusive platforms through my articles. Outside coding, I enjoy traveling and mountain climbing.
Great post!
I used to frequently find myself in the position of having to defend why I am a feminist to both men and women around me. I always knew I was a feminist even before I understood what it meant. But there was a stereotype around the word some people say feminists mean "man hater" or just some jargon. At some point, I felt like I had to say things like "I'm a feminist who doesn't hate men". When I read "We Should All Be Feminists" book I felt so seen.
It's interesting that during IWD one of the common things you hear is "But we don't celebrate men's day".
I hope more people read this and get educated.
