“@lindasgrant 2008 called our male landlord when the boiler broke, he asked me to pass the phone to my boyfriend so he could explain repairs.”

“@lindasgrant In 2010 job interview I was told explicitly that I’d be hired in spite of my degree, because I ‘looked right’.”

Sexism made feminists necessary. Perhaps, when sexism disappears from our daily lives, I’ll consider saying “I’m not a feminist.”

Until then, I’m proud to join with the women who fought for the vote, for the right to spend their own money and be respected as professionals, and say, “I am a feminist!”
