Do you find yourself often thinking that your girl is different from most other girls? Do you feel she is a woman’s woman and could be a feminist? Probably she hasn’t disclosed it to you or maybe she doesn’t believe in name tags and hence is not comfortable with the tag of a feminist. You can find out if she is one though, through these pointers.

1. She hates male oriented stuff in the media

She abhors ads, TV shows and movies which propagate gender stereotypes. She never watches any male oriented movies or shows and is all for women oriented stuff. If you enjoy things that show women as sex objects, housewives or mere decorative pieces, then she will firmly tell you to stop seeing them.

2. She speaks her mind and is opinionated in nature

Feminists are more often than not, opinionated in nature to the point of being overbearing and dominating. They are not afraid to speak their minds and have rather radical views about womankind. They are not really romantic but have revolutionary views about how to change women’s status in society. If your girl displays such a trait, then she is surely a feminist.

3. She looks down on patriarchal ways of thinking

Our society still has fixed gender roles and an underlying patriarchal attitude to most things. She is totally against such views that dictate women to change their names after marriage, not get the same pay and appreciation at the workplace as men do, take full responsibility of her kid and go by her father or husband’s name in official documents.
