The 17 Most Feminist Halloween Costumes For 2016

WARSAW, POLAND – 2016/06/18: Hundreds of people came to the ‘March of Dignity’, a protest in defense of women’s rights in Warsaw, Poland.

What better way to have a “feminist” Halloween costume than by being, well, a feminist. Feminism, or being classified as a feminist, often gets a bad rap. The word feminist is simply defined as ‘an advocate or supporter of the rights and equality of women.’ So, really, if you agree with that (which I hope you do), you’re a feminist. But there are plenty of people who have a harmful image in their heads about us.

“Equality is not a concept. It’s not something we should be striving for. It’s a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who’s confronted with it. We need equality. Kinda now.” – Joss Whedon

Feminism is so important right now, so throw on a “this is what feminism looks like” shirt, and go about your Halloween as everyone else does. Let’s let everyone see that radical feminism isn’t the norm.
