Are You a Feminist?

“Are you a feminist? I didn’t know that.”

“You weren’t aware before it?”

“When I saw you at the first time, you looked like a feminist, no doubt about it. But you don’t look like a feminist now.” (feminist in a dress for sure is different to a man in skirt…that’s how I mock previous “Queen” of Indonesia)

(How do feminists look???????)

“Evie are you an activist?”

“What is an activist? Who doesn’t do any activities?”

“No…an activist is someone who challenges the situation, tries to change policies.”

“Oh…no then, I am more into grass root things. Let politicians do whatever they want to do, they’re useless. So I am not an activist.”

(Honestly I don’t consider my self as an activist, firstly because at the moment I don’t work closely with the grass root, secondly because I haven’t done any thing yet, and the most important is I don’t even know what an activist is)

“You let the water running. It’s water shortage in the world now.”

“Not during rainy season…..Are you an environmentalist too?”

(Not sure with this, just because I become a member of GreenPeace doesn’t mean I automatically am an environmentalist. I don’t have any idea what environmentalists do, but some stay on trees to keep those trees to be cut off, and for sure I haven’t done this yet)

“Are you political?”

“Who isn’t? Every thing we do is political.”

“Hell yes, you are an activist but I didn’t know that you are this political.”

“Every single thing we do is political.”

“Even in personal life?”

“What about that running water and water shortage?”

(It’s pointless to persuade me that personal is not political)

“You make it worse, a feminist, activist, political and environmentalist.”

“I know, so you better say ‘Get out off here you Bitch!’”

“Yes I should open my window wide so I can throw you away anytime to the pool.”

(That’s what I call a fine dinner with excellent sense of humour)
