1. The survey that Libby conducted with college students didn't necessarily reveal that the word "Feminist" was a dirty bad word, but it did reveal that most people had a negative outlook on the word. Others didn't really care about the subject or the meaning. I know this because in her essay she tells us what the results of her survey came up as.
2. Libby says that most people don't identify themselves as feminists because "feminists" are viewed as "man haters" in most movies and the media. That definitely is viewed as negative to a lot of the public.
3. Libby thinks most people should identify themselves as feminists because feminists means simply the right to a choice, for both men and women.

#2: She provides more reasons than this, no? What are some other ways that people view feminism and/or the environment that prevent them from connecting with this word?
