A user on X recently stated, “The real feminists don’t have it stamped on their bio.” This sparked a response from another user who countered, “Not having it on your bio sef is you sitting on the fence.” suggesting that genuine feminists must declare it in their profiles to be fully committed to the cause.
Such a stance implies that feminism is validated by public labels rather than actions, reducing it to mere words on social media. True feminism is rooted in advocacy, equality, and daily actions—not in profile labels. While visibility can be empowering, it’s not a requirement for commitment. Measuring commitment to feminism through bios creates unnecessary gatekeeping and excludes those who might choose other ways to express their support for gender equality.
