Meaning
This reads as a definition of feminism as active resistance, not a label of agreement or style. It can be taken to mean that the core issue is refusing limits placed on girls and women, even while the larger movement remains complicated and open to debate. It lands in conversations about choice, confidence, and the pushback that often meets them.
