There’s no doubt that, in our society, there is a negative stigma around feminist girls and whether or not they qualify as “girlfriend material.” But here’s the truth: feminists can actually make GREAT girlfriends. They absolutely LOOOVE equality, making you feel good about yourself, sharing their opinions, and supporting you unconditionally. She may want to put herself and her ambition first, but she will never back down when it comes to making your relationship as strong as it possibly can be. In dating a feminist, you can actually make some serious gains.

Don’t believe me? Here are some legit AF examples.

1. You won't be pressured to be "the man."

...or “the woman,” for that matter. Gender roles suck, so you won’t find them in this relationship!

2. You can show emotion without being judged.

You heard me. No one will pressure you into toxic masculinity here! So, when you’re feeling some type of way, your feminist girlfriend isn’t gonna stop you from letting your feelings out.

3. You get an opinionated partner.

She knows what she believes in, and she’s confident in it. Tolerate her opinions and everything will be great.

4. You won't need to make all the decisions.

No pressure here, dude. She can make her own decisions all by herself!

5. You also won't need to pay for everything.

True equality in a relationship means one person doesn’t need to pay for every single date. If you paid last time, she’ll gladly pick up the tab this time!

6. You get a partner who is determined to succeed.

Success is something she wants more than anything, and she certainly won’t back down until she gets it.

7. You get unconditional love and support.

Not only is she strong, but she will fearlessly love and support you through it all. As long as you support her, she’ll totally return the favor.

8. You get someone who won't settle.

She’ll totally settle down with you, but she won’t settle for anything less than the best. Therefore, if she settles with you, you’re the best of the best. Don’t let her down!

9. You get equality.

Like that’s not what she’s fighting so hard for already… but still.
