The article by Lauren Suchenski discusses the term 'Feminism' and its implications for gender equality. The author questions why some people are uncomfortable with the term and compares it to the Black Lives Matter movement, emphasizing the importance of addressing specific issues rather than generalizing with terms like 'All Lives Matter.' The article argues that feminism is intersectional and aims for equality across all genders, not just women. It acknowledges that while women have historically been less privileged, the patriarchal system also negatively affects other genders, including transgender and intersex individuals. The author suggests that the term 'Equalism' might seem more inclusive to some, but changing the term does not address the root issues of inequality. The complexity of the association between maleness and patriarchy is also explored, noting that while it provides privilege, it can also be harmful due to overgeneralization and lack of individual consideration.

The author shares an experience of picking up the ashes of Bronte, presumably a pet, and bringing them to a therapy session. The therapist's warm greeting to Bronte's ashes is highlighted as a thoughtful gesture. The article discusses the varied reactions of friends and family to grief, the importance of communication, and the need to be understanding and supportive. The author concludes with a poem emphasizing that death is not contagious and encourages more open conversations about it.
