section Summary
 
 
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, I find myself wanting to write about feminism. I don’t know what wave I am—4th, or maybe some unknowable iteration in the process of being born and matured. But I do know that I think a lot about what it means to be a woman wielding her power in the world, and today I thought I’d share some of those thoughts with you. They don’t have much to do with Nepal, except peripherally, so my apologies.

  1. We (women) be able to choose with whom and under what circumstances we have sex, have a baby, and get married
  2. For years we have fought to get equal pay for equal work, we have had to be better than our male counterparts.
  3. After all that has come before, it should be obvious that the feminist movement served more than one purpose.
  4. There are continua upon continua of discrimination, of disrespect, or turning-a-blind-eye on the part of the world.
