Lit Blog Response- Discussing Main Point and Meaning

1) I do not think the author's survey results indicate that feminist is, by and large, dirty word for her fellow students because Lybby does not provide more information that says that people think it's a dirty word. She provides the same amount of information for both points, she spends time talking on how people are not concern about feminist. On paragraph 3 she says that people said that they knew about the word but they just did not cara about the subject.

2) The reasons Libby offers as to why there are not more self-identified femisnts are that people think that being a feminist is something bad, that people are confused about what it really means. Another reason is that some men think that as males they should not be involved in the situation being. Some people think that they cannot be feminist because they are not doing anything to make things better.

3. Libby thinks that more people should identify themselves as feminists because she does not think that feminist is a bad word or that it has anything wrong. She thinks that feminist are just people who fight for women equal rights. In fact she thinks that the negative connotation should be ignored because it disturbs the real meaning of the word.
