I’m starting to get very nervous (anxious? Angry beyond belief?) about a few of the comments my profs had on my thesis. It’s becoming very clear to me that they are not, in fact, my intended audience and they want me to fit my feminism into their pre-defined box. I fear they won’t be happy with anything else, but I won’t be happy with a paper that misrepresents what I think feminism is - to me and to my participants.
I know that your grad school career depends on this thesis, but you shouldn’t have to change your definition of feminism or that of your participants because your profs don’t like it. Is there any different way that you could explain that feminism means different things to different people?
Good luck! And don’t give in — at least not too much!
