I am a feminist because:
“I did not go through a particular groundbreaking event that made me a feminist. That is simply because, from the age of 0, I have been accompanied by two very strong truths: one, is the understanding that women are discriminated against in almost every field in the world, and certainly within Jewish law; and the second, is the knowledge that this discrimination is neither moral nor justified.”
