When you think of a women’s club, what springs to mind is feminist unshaven man-haters all getting together to throw dirty tampons in the men’s locker room. Women Empowered is not that club. The club is an all gender-inclusive, seeking to support women students and promote valuable opportunities for women. 

Next quarter, the club has planned plenty of fun activities for club members to enjoy, like roller skating, yoga practice and a production of the “Vagina Monologues.” These are just a few ways for Women Empowered members to have a good time. 

More active proceedings include planning a 2013 women’s conference, participating in spring 2012’s Women Empowered luncheon, and the general promoting and planning of resources for women on campus. 

“I want to have any opportunity that’s afforded to a man or any privileged person,” said  club member Anita Adams. “I think it’s all about opportunity and not about man-hating.”

The club is a social outlet for women-gendered rights that liberates opportunities for women, revives women’s studies on campus, while not undermining the male gender.

This spring quarter, Women Empowered will have a party on April 30 for students and faculty to join and inquire about the club. Meetings for spring quarter will be Mondays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Multicultural Center.
