Writing exercise

Original:

I am quite tired to hear “feminism” and actually I find some feminists look down women who aim to become full-time housewives or someone who’s satisfied with their current situation. I don’t think a woman claiming to be not like feminism are actually against it. I also don’t think that many feminists know the ordinary meaning of the word and realize what they are doing.
I respect women who are brave to fight for their rights, but they also need to know, everyone has their own choice for life.
