Here comes a strange observations.

Feminists use the term: Empowered woman.

Empowered means, that they were granted power by someone else. It does not mean, that the person was powerful by themselves, nor does it mean, that the person managed to gain power through hard work.

Yet, feminists aren't ashamed of calling themselves empowered, even though, them using that word means, that they do consider themselves to be inherently weak.

Just food for thought.
