5 Feminist Costumes You Must Try for 2k15

Yay! It’s October! Time to shuffle down to your local costume shop and pick out that overly priced, but seemingly cute costume that is slightly degrading to the occupation it represents, but that’s ok, right? It’s Halloween. 

The answer is NO! Why should we be required to spend $50 on a costume that shows a little too much of something that we don’t want to show off?  Ugh, seriously! We can’t just be a cop? We’re expected to be a bad, dirty cop? Knock Knock. It’s gender-equality at the door. What happened to the days when friends and neighbors dressed up as aspiring characters? Let’s bring back those masks, collegiettes. We aren’t saying that you shouldn’t feel sexy on Halloween, but how about us women aim to celebrate female empowerment this year?  

Feel sexy in a costume that gives power to women.
