This is so important. Since feminism has some universal components and then other parts are very individualized, it is imperative to make statements of inclusiveness like this. For feminism to be successful we need to be supporting cis and trans, straight and queer, white and minority. I'm glad to see this in the manifesto!

The first line of this article got me thinking. I believe the answer to be "yes", selfies can be a feminist act. And I felt afraid there was a potential false dichotomy being created by the initial question. I feel that with many feminist issues that same "this or that" attitude rears its ugly head.

Which is more feminist, having a career or staying home with babies? Which is more feminist, flaunting your body or "respecting yourself"? I was afraid this article would go more in the direction of which is more feminist, taking selfies or refusing to take part in this modern ritual?

I'm glad the article didn't go as far in that direction as I suspected because to me, the answer is always that whatever each woman chooses for herself, unfettered, is the most feminist choice. And I feel that applies to taking a selfie.
