TW: Rape<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0 I follow a feminism page on Instagram and, I swear, the pressed men must have their post notifications turned on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The comments include things like “Get back in the kitchen.”<\/em>, “Men invented x, if they didn’t, she wouldn’t be able to open her big mouth.”<\/em>, “Feminism is sexism”<\/em>, and the grossest one of all “If a woman gets raped she wanted it”<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Is your IQ in the negative numbers?\u00a0<\/em> Do you even understand the definitions of the words you are using?<\/em> It all makes me want to go into a primal rage.\u00a0<\/p>\n Feminism- the movement of wanting equality between the genders for women.<\/strong><\/p>\n How is wanting equality sexist?\u00a0<\/em> It isn’t. (You just like having power over us as a man.)\u00a0<\/p>\n Rape- the act of forcing someone into sexual intercourse<\/strong><\/p>\n How can rape be wanted?<\/em> It legit cannot be. You cannot prevent it, if it is forced upon the person.<\/p>\n I really don’t understand why people insist on keeping women oppressed. It is honestly the worst kind of oppression, in my opinion.<\/p>\n Honestly, I’ve experienced first hand being treated badly by men, as if I am disposable. Believe it or not, it happened this weekend.\u00a0 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?”\u00a0 Like, why is that the only option?<\/em>\u00a0 Can’t you just be a freaking loyal person?<\/em>\u00a0 Guys treat us like toys and when they get bored they toss us in the trash.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Women have emotions, we just want to be cared for and treated with respect, is it really that much to ask for?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n Some good resources:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/feminist\/<\/p>\n https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Feminism<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TW: Rape It’s really sad that I feel the need to explain what feminism is– it’s 2020 guys.
