Feminism is often said as if it were some sort of dirty word. It rolls of the tongue accompanied with an eye roll, a slight smirk, or even a quick sigh. “Oh, those silly feminists” is the tone I hear a lot when people talk about feminism. The reasons for this reaction to an important movement throughout history and today need to be understood. In order to try to do this, let’s look at three popular myths about feminists and feminism. 1. Feminists hate men The belief that feminists think...

This past week was the Live Below the Line challenge where people in food secure countries across the world were challenged to eat for five days, spending no more than what those who are considered to be living at the poverty line have access to. That works out to $1.75 in Canada. The purpose of the challenge is twofold; on the one hand to raise money for associated charities and on the other to raise awareness about poverty and hunger. This type of advocacy is great for getting people...
