Christina Cauterucci Contradicts Herself

My Response to Feminism and Christina Cauterucci’s Article

In the title of her article, Christina Cauterucci asks the question, “Why are we always asking rich famous ladies if they are feminists?” But why would we not ask rich famous ladies if they are feminists? Cauterucci writes, “The feminist movement is broad and strong enough to serve both of these women…” but yet she questions the validity of the two rich and famous women, who are supposed to be served by the feminist movement. Cauterucci contradicts herself by saying that these women are supposedly served by the feminist movement, but that they do not deserve to voice their opinions about the cause. The problem with the feminist movement is the lack of a set definition of feminism. Everyone has their own idea of what feminism is and they form their opinions accordingly. If the feminist movement had a clear cut set of goals and a more universally understood definition of feminism, the world would be better informed and each person would be able to decide their standings on one, universal concept. Currently, people are hearing different definitions from different people and are becoming confused about the true meaning of feminism. It is impossible for them to have a true opinion on a topic that they do not completely understand. Until the movement's goals are clear and the people are informed, it is not fair to judge or persecute people based upon their opinion on an unclear definition of feminism.
