Kirstin McRae
Kirstin is 22 years old and finishing up her senior year at Cal State Long Beach with major in political science, and a minor in gender studies. She plans on attending graduate school, as well as law school, in the next few years, and will focus on political science and human rights law. She plans to finish her academic studies with a PhD in gender and feminist studies. She competes on the CSULB Debate team and has had the pleasure of spending the last 4 years arguing with some of the most intelligent students around the country. Kirstin loves politics, confrontation, Disneyland and equality, and she hopes to help her generation become one of action instead of apathy.
What is feminism?
Feminism, to me, are the beliefs, actions and reality that demand that gender and sexual identity NOT be a basis of
exclusion in any form. That equality is a right, not a privilege, that should be enjoyed by all members of any gender identification.
What is choice?
Choice is the assertion of your rights. It is the fundamental basis of a person’s autonomy and a right that for far too
long has been historically denied to women regarding almost every aspect of their daily lives. Choice is the revolution that every woman should fight for, because without it, we are obedient, silent, and inconsequential to those who make the choices for us.
