I’ve always been a fan of reusing old things and turning them into something new—which I later learned is called upcycling.Whether it was turning an old peanut butter jar into a container for my pens or making a scarf out of an old T-shirt, upcycling has been part of my life for quite some time.

As soon as the word leaves your lips, discourse breaks out on the internet over feminism’s inherent meaning and why it’s a bad thing to call yourself a feminist.
