Our minds respond to words through emotion and experience. Over time, feminism has been shaped by stereotypes, media portrayals, and social judgment rather than its true meaning. To avoid conflict or being labelled as “extreme,” people distance themselves from the term as a form of self-protection. Understanding this through psychology encourages empathy, not debate. When feminism is seen as fairness, dignity, and shared humanity, resistance often fades. https://www.psychologs.com/why-people-say-im-not-a-feminist-a-psychological-analysis/ #psychology
