TW: Rape
It’s really sad that I feel the need to explain what feminism is– it’s 2020 guys. We just recently had a race movement, and I really feel we need a gender equality movement, too. I follow a feminism page on Instagram and, I swear, the pressed men must have their post notifications turned on.
The comments include things like “Get back in the kitchen.”, “Men invented x, if they didn’t, she wouldn’t be able to open her big mouth.”, “Feminism is sexism”, and the grossest one of all “If a woman gets raped she wanted it”.
Is your IQ in the negative numbers? Do you even understand the definitions of the words you are using? It all makes me want to go into a primal rage.
Feminism- the movement of wanting equality between the genders for women.
How is wanting equality sexist? It isn’t. (You just like having power over us as a man.)
Rape- the act of forcing someone into sexual intercourse
How can rape be wanted? It legit cannot be. You cannot prevent it, if it is forced upon the person.
I really don’t understand why people insist on keeping women oppressed. It is honestly the worst kind of oppression, in my opinion.
Honestly, I’ve experienced first hand being treated badly by men, as if I am disposable. Believe it or not, it happened this weekend. I had an encounter with a guy friend who gave me an ultimatum. It led to him asking, “Would you rather end things now or be upset when I cheat on you?” Like, why is that the only option? Can’t you just be a freaking loyal person? Guys treat us like toys and when they get bored they toss us in the trash. They should be taught to treat girls with respect and equality. I am not a toy. I am not disposable. I am a living, breathing person with feelings. Women have emotions, we just want to be cared for and treated with respect, is it really that much to ask for?
And might I add: We don’t even really need men anymore. Scientists have found ways for females to reproduce using bone marrow. Bone marrow! So no, we are not inferior. We should be equals.
