EUSA decide to become “a feminist”

After a dry spell, EUSA are back in action. Kirsty Haigh, our Vice President of Services, is bringing the motion that “EUSA is a feminist” to the Student Council Meeting this Thursday.

The motion says EUSA should trumpet “intersectional Feminism to the student body and challenge negative connotations around the word and ideology.”

“Everyone should be a feminist as Feminism is the way forward to creating a more equal society.”

The motion also seeks to ensure that: “everyone understands that gender is a social construct.”

This is the latest “pro-female” policy by EUSA. Previous moves include censoring songs and banning lads. EUSA also likes abortion.

Questions have been raised about the plan. Sarah Moffat, our Women’s Liberation Convenor, has said: “Some feminists believe [males] can [be feminists], others don’t”.

The fact that some students are male could pose a problem, as could the fact that not all students are feminists.

However, the motion suggests that this may only be the case because: “There are students on campus who do not know or understand the term feminism.”
