Feminism in 3D: Defy, Disobey, Disrupt

Logo: Sheyam Ghieth

I wanted nothing to do with love when I was younger. I wanted to be powerful, and I spent my 20s and 30s liberating myself from all that I felt was chaining me. I wanted to be powerful and to be free, and in love, yes. But if I could not have the first two, well, then, love could wait. I chose me. I had to grow into the knowledge that a love that is free is powerful and tender; tender, not weak. Feminist love insists on being both powerful and tender, because the sum total is freedom. Free love is revolutionary.
