I think there's feminism everywhere throughout the world. I think, though, for Western feminism and for American feminism, it not so surprisingly continues to center Western feminism and American feminism. And I think the biggest hurdle American feminists have in terms of taking a more global approach is that too often when you hear American feminists talk about international feminism or women in other countries, it kind of goes along with this condescending point of view like we have to save the women of such-and-such country; we have to help them.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jessica Valenti" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jessica-valenti/i-think-feminism-has-always-been-global-i-think-there-s-feminism-2/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6bc/jessica-valenti-1960_condescending_i-think-feminism-has-always-been-global_676859.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6bc/jessica-valenti-1960_condescending_i-think-feminism-has-always-been-global_676859.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6bc/jessica-valenti-1960_condescending_i-think-feminism-has-always-been-global_676859.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I think feminism has always been global.

Feminism is an indivisible part of who I am, and I remain mystified by the stigma that has been attached to the idea that women are human beings. It sounds so obvious and simple to me, so motherhood and apple pie. And yet the idea that women are human beings remains news, a message that requires constant, clear, and artful reinforcement in a world that continues to undermine the confidence and abilities of girls and women. On the day that the intelligence and talents of women are fully honored and employed, the human community and the planet itself will benefit in ways we can only being to imagine.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Anita Diamant" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/anita-diamant/i-am-as-proud-to-be-called-a-feminist-as-i-am-to-be-called-a-jew-or/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b05/anita-diamant-17206_apple-pie_i-am-as-proud-to-be-called-a-feminist-as_1481129.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b05/anita-diamant-17206_apple-pie_i-am-as-proud-to-be-called-a-feminist-as_1481129.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b05/anita-diamant-17206_apple-pie_i-am-as-proud-to-be-called-a-feminist-as_1481129.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I am as proud to be called a feminist as I am to be called a Jew, or an American.
