Re: FEMINISM

You do not have to be a feminist woman, nor does anyone have to be a feminist solely based on their gender. Feminism is a belief in gender equality and the advocacy for equal rights and opportunities for all genders.

Re: queen word for bed or bedding

The use of the words "queen" and "king" to refer to bed sizes, such as queen-sized and king-sized beds, doesn't necessarily have a direct connection to royalty or monarchs, although the terminology may evoke a sense of luxury and spaciousness.
