My first question why is: why is feminism called the "F" word? Why is it considered a dirty word these days that even the strong and smart ladies shy away from?
I was watching a documentary the other day where the interviewer asked an average woman, "How would you define a feminist?" and she replied, "Someone who believes in equal rights." then he asked, "Would you consider yourself a feminist?" and she said "No."
No, she doesn't believe in equal rights. This scares me. Does she and do you think that in order to be a feminist you have to be like a man? Does she and do you think that feminism is the evil feminist's attempt to change a patriarchal system into a matriarchal one? Does she and do you think that feminism is no longer necessary?
When I researched why, the answers to these questions were yes. However, I realized that I will have to keep asking my favorite question..."why?" Because I'm a feminist and I am not at all like a man. I'm a feminist and I don't want a matriarchal system, I want an equal system. I'm just an average lady and I think that feminism is still necessary. Why you ask? Good question.
Men are still getting paid more than women for the same job, to see for yourself check Census Canada. There is no subsidized child care, yet it is necessary for both parents to work now just to make ends meet. Abortion is still illegal in some states and Nelly is still swiping his credit card down half naked ladies butt cracks in music videos! Not to mention all the other injustices towards women that are not in our backyard!
So, from this day forward may I forever be tarnished by the "F" word and I will wear it like a badge of honor because the war against society is not over... not for me. Don't forget to keep asking why my friends, take the red pill and jump down the rabbit hole... you may be surprised by what you find down there~
Feminism does get a bad rap these days. Its association with female facial hair, and female dominance has spiraled out of control. Young women seem to believe it will be hard to find a penis should they even utter the "f" word, and in many cases they would be right. Why any self respecting woman would want to attract this type of man is another question worth careful examination.
ReplyDeleteI am a feminist. An extreme feminist. I actually believe women are superior to men in most ways that matter and that we should shout it from the roof tops any chance we get. We are more caring, more nurturing, better conversationalists, smarter and hotter. We deserve higher pay because we are more efficient and should be payed to NOT work so we can continue to keep the human race alive.
Thanks for the awesome post Mell!! XXOO
